The Food Trust put on yet another Night Market.  The most recent one occurred in the Fairmount neighborhood of Philadelphia.

A plethora of food trucks were in attendance along with a sea of Philadelphians.  The nice warm summer-like weather encouraged a large gathering of people.

Chinatown Night Market

The Chinatown Night Market occured on Oct. 4th.  I have never seen that many non Chinese or asians in Chinatown.

It was fun to see Chinatown so alive on a weeknight with foodtrucks and mostly college aged to young professionals.  Unfortunately getting food took longer than expected so I ended up grabbing a meal in a restaurant, Penang to be exact.
