Prized recipes and tales of home, work, and family—from the immigrant vendor-chefs of NYC’s first and favorite night market

On summer Saturday nights in Queens, New York, scents from Moldova to Mexico whet thousands of appetites as people gather to enjoy food from over 90 countries. Welcome to the Queens Night Market. It’s had well over a million visitors since 2015, and there’s little wonder why: The food is delicious, the energy infectious—and the $6 price cap, irresistible.

Many of the participating vendors are first- and second-generation immigrants living in Queens—the most diverse urban area on Earth! In The World Eats Here, they share their amazing food and incredible stories. You’ll meet Wanda Chiu of Hong Kong Street Food whose panfried noodles remind her of cold winter mornings before school. And Liia Minnebaeva will blow you away with her Bashkir farm cheese donuts—a treat from her childhood in Oktyabrsky in western Russia. Think Humans of New York . . . plus recipes!

Whether it’s Filipino dinuguan or Haitian diri ak djon djon, each recipe connects the reader with a small piece of the American story. Although each is entirely unique, they all demonstrate the importance of one essential idea: Food brings people together—and nowhere more so than at the Queens Night Market, where flavors from all over the world can be enjoyed in one unforgettable place.
