It feels like just yesterday that the July Night Market happened. I was so excited to see all the different types of Asian foods like dim-sum and Thai food that were being sold (and not just the typical take-out that most people get). If you're not too adventurous with your food, taste it from friend or else you'll be out $7 - $10 for something you don't like. Or, head to the area with the tables where they have about 3 -4 food trucks. If you see sweets while you're deciding what entree to get, I'd advise you to just buy it and keep it with you (unless it's ice cream) because they can sell out! I, unfortunately, missed out on the Vietnamese coffee ice cream that Mason's Creamery was selling but got there in time to try the jackfruit ice cream. They also have some craft type tables with trinkets and even the typical Asian stuffed animal toys.
They open the night market at 5 PM but I would suggest going between 6:30 PM and 9 PM because the food starts to run out and you'll get there before the sun sets (easier to decide what food to buy) and before the crowds come. Parking is a bit of a struggle, but if you drive around you'll be able to find something within 3-5 blocks of the area. My friend and I also took the rail to tower city and then split an Uber or Lyft to the Night Market which ended up being about $7-$8 one way.
If you're like me and wake up the next day wishing you had more food from last night, bring a plastic bag or grocery bag and buy food to bring home. Now if only I could take home a quart of that taro or Thai tea ice cream from Mason's Creamery...
