Hungry? The Union Square Night Market will return this May to satiate your cravings for crepes, wraps, bowls, and but of course, the trendy Dubai chocolate. And that’s only to name a few options.
The beloved food festival will kick off the 2025 season on May 29th, so make sure to plan your outings accordingly. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite or something hearty, this foodies’ paradise has a little bit of everything.
Union Square Night Market 2025
“The Union Square Night Market by Urbanspace offers New Yorkers and visitors alike the magic of a dynamic, open-air market under the stars, paired with the accessibility and energy of Union Square,” says Julie Stein, Executive Director of Union Square Partnership. “It taps into the district’s deep-rooted history of culinary excellence, supports thriving small businesses and reflects the exciting renaissance of food and beverage that is happening here today.”
The dates for the festivities are as follows:
- Thursdays and Fridays from May 29th through June 27th from 12-10pm
- Thursdays only from July 24th through August 7th
- Thursdays and Fridays from September 4th through October 17th
Over 35 rotating vendors are on hand to give New Yorkers plenty of dishes to choose from. We’re particularly looking forward to the following:
- Hen House: the East Village-based eatery with Lebanese wraps and bowls
- TNT Pineapple Bowls: tropical rice bowls served in grilled pineapple halves
- Cuddle Crepes: a mix of sweet and savory crepes (and yes, some include Dubai chocolate)
“The Union Square Night Market is exactly the kind of unique and immersive New York City experience that defines our district,” Stein adds. “We thank Urbanspace for their ongoing partnership.”
Fortunately for foodies, there’s plenty more to snack your way through this summer: venture to the Uptown Night Market for over 50 diverse food vendors, including Rosie’s Empanadas, Twisted Potato, La Braza, and Savage Burger LLC, among others. Plus, if you have a classic NYC cuisine in mind, a new Jewish food festival is coming to Governors Island this summer.
