The Night Market


From December – March, Queen ‘Vic’ Market is open from 5pm-10pm every Wednesday.  Last Wednesday night was the last one and I am SO glad I was able to go. The market is transformed from flea market to festival, with food stalls lining the streets on both sides. Cuisine from all over the world- Malaysian, Indian, Mexican, Turkish- you name it. It’s all about the food. There are live musical performances going on the whole time. There are still a few shops open but not nearly as many as usual. I bought myself a henna cone and harem pants. I had a Turkish flatbread with lamb, mushrooms, cheese, and spinach and a pistachio gelato for dessert. The atmosphere was so cheerful and carefree; reminded me a lot of the Greek festivals we have in NY, but on a much bigger, broader, scale.  Too bad it was the last of the season, I would have loved to go again.
