The Grub Guide to the Summer’s Can’t-Miss Food Festivals

Try your first shark sandwich at the Bronx Night Market. Photo: Daniel Kwak With summer now in full swing so, too, are the big parties and other ambitious gatherings that make this the best time of year to spend the whole day out. Summer also means checking out the city’s many, many summertime food festivals, which often bring together the best in regional cuisines, alfresco dining, and food-as-entertainment here in one of the world’s greatest cities for eating.

Why It’s Awesome: the Bronx Night Market has returned for a second season at Fordham Plaza and the whole enterprise has grown from 40 vendors last year to more than 100 for 2019. This year’s offerings will include Korean-style hot dogs, fried ice cream, chicken sandwiched between loaded potato waffles, and cheese-filled corn on a stick.

Flatbush icon Peppa’s Jerk Chicken will be on hand with its particularly fiery brand of spice-rubbed chicken as well as Smorgasburg vendor Excell’s Kingston Eatery.

Bid adieu to the city’s greatest street-food festival.

Head to Governors Island that Saturday, for what will surely be a blowout and emotional good-bye for what we at Grub describe as “the city’s go-to celebration of all things street eats.
