If the mouth-watering, lip-smacking, finger-licking food vendors from last week aren’t enough, here is yet another reason to attend Queens Night Market on Saturday, July 17.
Taste Buds Required, a local purveyor of Haitian cuisine, will be there.
NYC-raised owner Martine Dardignac, who works out of the Entrepreneur Space in Long Island City, strives to honor her mother’s traditional Haitian meals that she loved so much while growing up.
That means Djon Djon (Black Rice and Peas with Mushrooms), Sos Pwa (Bean Soup), Legumes (Vegetable Stew), Mac & Cheese Griot (Fried Pork Bites), Savory Patties, and Soup Joumou, a typical New Year’s treat featuring pumpkin and/or squash.
Taste Buds Required also has an extensive catering and wedding menus with Beef Stew (Bouyon), Red Snapper in Creole Sauce, Chicken in Creole Sauce, and other dishes.
Queens Night Market takes place behind the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. The entrance is in the vicinity of 47th Avenue and 111th Street or about four blocks south of the 7 train’s 111th Street/Roosevelt Avenue station in Corona.
