A Daytime Asian ‘Night Market’ Emerges in Eastern Market | Eater Detroit

"At Shed 5 at Eastern Market I was greeted by the aroma of freshly made dumplings, the sizzle of pan-fried noodles, and booths selling chicken and Hmong sausage skewers, banh mi, boba teas, and coconut ice cream during Little Asian Bites’ summer Night Market; although the market was held during daylight for logistical reasons, it still drew hundreds of hungry visitors and gave metro Detroiters a chance to sample cuisine from vendors ranging from popular restaurants to informal family-owned ventures. Little Asian Bites founder Amanda Lee, who began hosting small gatherings to highlight aspects of her Taiwanese heritage and—together with collaborator Frances Barber—launched the inaugural Night Market, framed the event as a community-focused experience rather than strictly a nighttime activity, and said she will discuss future events with Eastern Market organizers with hopes of hosting a market around Lunar New Year." - Serena Maria Daniels
