| - Wow! I'm impressed. Having been to other asian/food festivals in big cities (Los Angeles), Night Market Cleveland is highly comparable, if not just as energetic and delicious.
The atmosphere and energy of the performers, crowd, and business owners was positive and energetic. People were so friendly, humbled, and everyone was enjoying themselves. Plenty of vendors, from dessert shops, to vegan soul food, to handcrafted product booths. There were so many new restaurants, artists, and businesses I've never even heard of until I stumbled upon them at this event.
Food trucks, grills, and asian/indian restaurants in the area were present cooking up very reasonable portions if their food for very reasonable prices. COME HUNGRY. There is something for everyone here. If you're in the mood for a cocktail (think kimchi bloody marys, or infused and spiked lemonades), beer, or just a non-alcoholic bubble teas, they have it.
Left here feeling highly impressed and super proud of my city and all of the great businesses and food we have to offer. Can't WAIT to come back next year!
NOTE: If you don't like crowds, come right at opening time. Perhaps it was just because it was raining earlier, but we came around 6 and there were no lines, ample photo taking opportunities, and plenty of space for walking. Crowd started picking up at 7-730.
