“This is what you eat in La Paz at 4 a.m.,” said the man half-devoured by smoke as he stood at the grill, stroking oil over beef hearts with a brush of banana husks.
It was only 8 p.m., but at the Queens Night Market , next to the undulating walls of the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, the night already felt a little lawless, in the best sense of the word: emancipated from day and of unlimited promise.
In one hand, I clutched a newspaper printed in Bengali, whirled into a thonga, or cone, and brimming over with jhal muri: a loose bouquet of cilantro, puffed rice, crunchy filaments of fried chickpea flour and hoops of green chile like castoff earrings. Mustard oil trickled through. The heat clarified the soul.
In the other hand was a cup of chicha morada, a Peruvian drink of purple corn brewed with pineapple peels, cinnamon and cloves, and darker than any wine, so purple it was nearly black. The sweetness was a jolt, and then it was gone.
A giant inflatable lucky cat, the talisman of storefronts all over Asia, waved its paw by the fence. Burnished ducks hung inside a stall, as if in a restaurant window in Chinatown. A crowd had gathered around a woman dripping molten sugar from a spoon onto a marble slab, letting it crystallize into the shapes of butterflies, bearded goats and koi with pursed lips, which children then toted around on sticks like lollipops.
There are other, more celebrated open-air food bazaars in town. But, for me, none is more surprising, thrilling and inspiring than the Queens Night Market. It runs Saturday nights from April to October (with brief breaks during the United States Open and Maker Faire), but in summer it has the most shimmer.

This research explored the customers’ characteristics, and their visitation and spending patterns at the Bestari Jaya Night Market in the district of Kuala Selangor. It also looked into the night market environment and examined the factors that contributed towards the liveliness of the night market so as to ascertain if it would be attractive to both customers and tourists to visit. The findings indicated that the Bestari Jaya night market environment had a medium to low impact since the night market was of average size, with medium traders’ and customers’ density and diversity, and that, on average the customers spend only about 35 minutes.

Street market in urban centres has become a part of the major commercial place for locals and tourists. In most revitalization projects, the image of the street market will be changed as the space becomes more modernized to attract visitors. As a consequence to the redevelopment of street markets, the arrivals of visitors and the visitor experience may also change. This paper examines the role of street market as an urban cultural space for the city. Through a case study on Ferringhi Night Market, Penang, the researchers conducted a survey among the locals and tourists, semi-structured interviews among the vendors and field observation to analyse the nature of Ferringhi Night Market as a street market and how visitors and vendors experience and perceive it. The study found that Ferringhi Night Market plays heterogeneous roles as a commercial and cultural space. There are several factors that contribute to the visitor experience at Ferringhi Night Market in terms of the elements, the spaces, the surrounding site, atmosphere, local activities, products and the presence of local people. To further improve the vibrancy of Ferringhi Night Market, this study suggests that the physical setting needs to support more social activities and cultural activities.
ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to gain a better understanding of the factors leading to the dynamism and performance of night markets, the characteristics of the night market, the traders, the customers and the visitors; and to determine the density and diversity of the night market. The Malaysian night market was based on the concept of open-air shopping, where street hawkers or petty traders occupied a designated part of a street to set up their stalls. The night markets offered wide range of foods and non-food items and they would usually operate once or twice a week depending on the popularity of the night markets in the area. They could be considered as business incubators for aspiring entrepreneurs since they would need to put in a very small investment to start the business, the risk of failure was minimal, and there was the opportunity to earn a hefty income. The six variables studied were: Market characteristics, Traders profile and characteristics, Customers profile and characteristics, Visitors profile and characteristics, Local authority level of support and services provided, and Surrounding communities and characteristics. Additionally, three other aspects that were also examined were the economic effects on surrounding communities, the aspects of competition among traders, and the product type, range and prices. The findings indicated that the night market studied was very vibrant with high density of traders and customers especially during peak period; high diversity of customers with the different ethnic and age groups; and high degree of social interactions with encounters that represented ‘heads up’ interactions among and between customers and traders.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to build on both the theoretical work concerning the co-creation of experiences, and the need for micro-businesses to adopt a consumer-friendly orientation. The researchers examined the compatibility of vendors’ views of their visitors’ perspectives and the visitors’ own assessments of two Hong Kong night markets. Using a large sample survey with over 1,900 tourists and 120 vendors, and examining the data through mean difference testing and factor analysis, the comparability of the views was examined. Key findings were that vendors consistently overestimated the positivity of the visitors’ views. Value for money, trustworthiness of the vendors and product variety were items indicating strong differences where vendors assumed visitors perceived night markets more favorably than did the visitors themselves. The work challenges some assumptions of service design logic and speculates that the durability of night markets is at risk without better vendo...
Temporary markets can be considered as everyday spaces in the city. There is something appealing about walking through a night market or a weekly bazaar, and yet, there is also something spectacular and festive about experiencing these informal, temporary event spaces. They are often a common feature in guide books for cities, enticing visitors to engage and experience the local life. Temporary markets may look similar at a glance or through photographs, but a conscious experience through them generates a richer and more complex understanding of their similarities and differences, how they operate as part of the city, and how places in the city are interconnected. This paper presents a collection of walking experiences through different temporary markets in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, ranging from less formal to more formal ones, while exploring their qualities and senses. The study employs an ethnographic approach through my own personal walking experience, engaging in the experiences of others, observations and conversations with vendors and visitors, mapping, and photo-documentation. The discussion from the findings challenges us to rethink the complexities of temporary markets as both ordinary and extra-ordinary spaces, and shares how we can engage with a rich phenomenon.

Jiung is an informal market growing in public open spaces in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, Indonesia. It consists of a row of non-permanent stalls and is also observed to be surrounding the densely populated settlements and four main Streets which are the Benyamin Sueb, Haji Ung, Kemayoran Gempol, and Bendungan Jago. Most of the traders come from the settlements behind the row of the market stalls and sell from morning to night except for those on the Kemayoran Gempol Street section, who are allowed to only trade up to late afternoon when traders with tents on the Street resume. These trading activities, however, lead to the closure of the Kemayoran Gempol Street and the tents used in the night market also cover the stalls of the Jiung Market merchant. Meanwhile, this market is acceptable to the residents and also the traders due to the long time existence of the Night Market activities in the place. There is, therefore, the need to understand the adaptation process to be implemented for the night market traders to be acceptable using the qualitative approach. It was discovered that a mutually beneficial relationship is the main reason the Night Market has survived up to the present moment. Moreover, the market was also found to have influenced the distribution of traders in several locations around the area but it is possible to inhibit the distribution growth through an architectural approach as a contribution towards the planning and design of urban public spaces in the country.

- Descriptive Essay: The Night Market
One of the most interesting places in Malaysia is the night market. You may visit and experience the night market yourselves. Both locals and foreigners agree that the night market is the most common feature in the local society. The night market begins when the vendors arrive in the late afternoon. More and more goods laden vans arrive to begin a brisk day of business. Most of the vendors busily set out to set up their stalls respectively in order to get ready for a brisk day of business. The sun gradually sets and the night market picks up momentum. More cars and vans are arriving. By now, the stalls are neatly and strategically arranged to entice their customers. There is an assortment of goods sold ranging from food, toys and clothes, to name a few. A variety of goods is sold at low prices. Large rainbow-coloured parasols are used to shade the people from rain and shine. A concoction of blaring music can be heard in the night market background amidst the constant shouting. It is an amazing kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, smells and colours. The night market is known as a haven by local ‘gourmets’ who can enjoy various kinds of mouth-watering local cuisine. Still more people arrive, they come from all walks of life, mingling freely and harmoniously. Crowds are walking up and down in an endless stream. Some of them are stopping by the stalls and haggling before making purchases. Little children tag along, amused and excited. Sprinklings of tourists join in to experience the lifestyle of typical Malaysian folks. When night falls, lighted lamps brighten up the place, they add gaiety to this atmosphere, and it is like a funfair. The night wears on and the traffic of people recedes. Vendors get a chance to rest their weary legs besides bantering with each other. By 10.00 pm, all the stalls call it a day. The vendors pack up and close the van doors. One by one, they leave, leaving behind pieces of papers, plastic bags and discarded boxes. It us an eyesore! Finally, the night market disappears. The place becomes quite and still once more. Note: Night market is known as "pasar malam" in Malay language.

10 comments: wow, excellent essay!! wide vocabularies! i was amazed after i read this passage! @.@ --angelina-- The vocabularies are just ok to me .It's how the writers put them into use that counts,eg,"It is an amazing kaleidoscope of sights,sounds,smells,colours."I wonder how the writer is able to form such goood sentence.Is it through reading or other reliable sources?Can anybody or the writer tells me? You must read in order to obtain all those ideas. Try to read novels or maybe newspapers as they provide a wide range of vocabularies perfect for writing essays. If you are not interested in reading, try to find interesting vocabularies in the internet or maybe useful english progammes in TV etc. good thought process but sounds a bit redundant at times...needs a little improvement Nice essay here. Adrian, if you ever check back to this post, I believe it is through reading that the writer is able to form a good sentence like this. I am not the writer of the essay (that credit goes to a higher intellect), but I'm quite confident that he/she achieved it through reading. Lots and lots of reading, as well as lots of writing. - E.M.
