On Thursday, June 19, from 4-8 pm, the Downtown Alliance and GrowNYC will host the first of two special Night Markets as part of summer long effort to enliven Water Street. Visitors will enjoy the rare chance to shop at a downtown nighttime Greenmarket farmers market, while eating seasonally inspired dishes sold by neighborhood restaurants, and sipping on beer, wine and hard cider. Music will provided by The Jazz Foundation. Food, music and family activities will make the Water Street Night Market a great event for New Yorkers of all ages.
The second market will take place on July 17 th at the same location.
"So many New Yorkers love walking through the Greenmarkets during the day to buy their fresh produce. Night Markets connect the consumers cooking in their home kitchens to the chefs who transform the raw ingredients into awe-inspiring creations the critics rave over," said GrowNYC Executive Director Marcel VanOoyen. "It's a fun way to spend a summer night when neighbors, farmers, chefs, and all stripes and types of New Yorkers come out to celebrate the kick-off of the season and to share some wonderful food - from our own region."
"Summer evenings are for fun, food, friends and festivity," said Jessica Lappin President of the Alliance for Downtown New York. "We're so excited to be partnering with GrowNYC to bring excitement, music and locally sourced food and drink to Water Street for all the area's residents, workers and visitors to enjoy."
