Details

Bring Cash. Let's meet in front of Joon (Persian stew over sticky rice). Here's a map of the place. I'll update the event chat with details as we move along in case you're late.
Here's what Pete Wells' said about the market: You might think of this seasonal Saturday-night bazaar, which starts up again on April 29, as one-stop shopping for many of the far-flung cuisines sold throughout Queens. But one of the market’s strengths is finding entrepreneurs who are just starting out; some of the cooks haven’t even made it to the entry-level sidewalk stage yet. The tents behind the space-age oddity of the New York Hall of Science have introduced many New Yorkers to flaky Sudanese sambuxa pastries filled with spiced beef, and to cinnamon-scented chimney cake in the style of Romania and Hungary, roasted on a spit and brushed with butter. At most stalls you’ll wait in line something like 20 times longer than it takes to eat whatever it is they’re selling. Then again, almost nothing costs more than $6.
