On top of the diverse food offerings, another aspect that makes this annual event so popular is its affordability. There has been a $6 price cap on the food offered there since 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou look around and it\u2019s people from every background and every ethnicity, and every neighborhood in New York City who come here. And I think that\u2019s in large part because of the price cap,\u201d Queens Night Market Founder John Wang said. \u201cThat $6 price cap hasn\u2019t changed in seven years, which I think is a testament both to our very lean business model, but also the vendors believing in the mission and sort of agreeing to a price cap in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n
