Both Malaysia and New York are known for their delicious street food, which is why we're doubly excited about the Malaysian Night Market celebration happening right here in New York City.
On September 14th from 6:30 to 10:00 pm, the Chelsea Triangle of the Meatpacking District will flood with vendors crowding colorful tents (inspired by Kuala Lumpur's open-air markets) and selling authentic Malaysian fare, with all dishes priced between $4 and $8. In addition to the food, which will be provided by local Southeast Asian restaurants, Malaysian cultural dances will be performed.
