Returning this year from last years launch, the Queens Night Market summons the foodie crowd out to Corona, arguably the heart of the original NYC food scene. While hovering over Peruvian, Dominican, Indian, Ecuadorian and Irish neighborhoods while on the 7 train, ready those tastebuds for a similar cultural explosion of food, drink and sometimes music. Jump off at the 111th St. station and head to towards Hall of Science parking lot. Don’t miss the shark sandos, chicken fried bacon and fresh Ecuadorian juices. Starting April 23rd on Saturdays from 6PM-Midnight @ New York Hall of Science in Queens.

This one looks like a sleeper. No formal website. Understand schedule. A great cause. With this past weekends NYCWFF debacle and douchery, we need something that promises to be back to the roots of why food is so celebritized in the first place. Food meets technology and we can actually eat at this one. Future of Food 2016 is so future it is hosted in Queens. This could be the smartest, tastiest three and a half hours of your week. Thursday, October 20th from 6:00 – 9:30pm in Queens, NY
