Bronx Night Market

Joining the ranks of Brooklyn Night Market and the Queens Night Market, the Bronx just got its first-ever food festival. And it officially kicks off this Saturday with over 40 vendors including City Tamale, Empanology, Tripla Panna Ice Cream, and MP Fish Fry & Soul. Pull up to enjoy the best food, art, and music that the borough is ready to show off.

Most of the food is priced in the $3, $5 and $7 range, so your 20 bucks will get you stuffed in no time. Entrance is free, so come hungry and ready to make it rain.

Can’t make it this weekend? No problem, homie. The Night Market will be held on the last Saturday of each month through October.

Williamsburg’s Peruvian godsend Llama Inn just opened a sandwich shop in the East Village. Like its mother restaurant, Llamita will be serving up sandwiches with similar Peruvian flavors. Don’t skip out on the duck sausage sandwich with Peruvian corn and chimichurri or the pork shoulder with sweet potato, salsa criolla (a lime and onion salsa), and rocoto crema (a spicy red pepper sauce). Go ahead and order the popular rotisserie chicken too.

If you’re giving up bread and going extra health-conscious this weekend, they also have an array of smoothies with ingredients like La Florida coffee, maca, and camu camu.

80 Carmine St

MON — FRI // 11 am — 8 pm

SAT — SUN // 10 am — 8 pm
