Bronx Night
Market returns
Food fest starts on Sept. 26
BY ALEX MITCHELL
One of the Bronx’s tastiest
events will make a comeback
later this week.
The Bronx Night Market
will once again be setting
up shop in Fordham Plaza to
bring a food fest for the ages
back uptown on weekends
starting Saturday, Sept. 26
through Sunday, Nov. 15.
It is there that event-goers
will be reacquainted with
some familiar favorite food
stands such as Sam’s Fried
Ice Cream, Twisted Potato,
Spoonable Spirits, Ariance
Jewelry, Island Love Cake,
Wah Gwaan, AND new vendors
hitting the plaza like 2
Belize Girls, Sweet & Salty
Empanadas, Popped Pins and
many more to come.
This time around, naturally,
it’s going to be a different look
for the foodie event that rivals
Brooklyn’s Smorgasburg.
With reservations now required
for the free event, it’s
going to be split into three
time sessions per day: 12-1:45
p.m., 2-3:45 p.m., and 4-6 p.m.
with a plethora of social distance
guidelines set in place.
Unusual to its previous
seasons, all vendors will be
kept ten feet apart from one
another as fl oor markers will
be put in for traffi c fl ow and
vendor cues.
Seating will also be limited
and mask wearing will
be required for the limited
occupancy event.
Hand washing and sanitizing
stations along with
signage will also be posted
around Fordham Plaza during
the fall nights. More on the
market’s strict guidelines can
be found on its social media.
The Bronx Night Market
will go on rain or shine.
