Don't forget about the North Vancouver Market as well. It's opening up tonight!

Welcome to the North Shore Green Markets website (http://www.northshoregreenmarket.com/)

It's got a much different crowd. Significantly less asians and more white families. They have a ton of booths and lots of food trucks. I liked this one much more than the Richmond ones because there were barely any rude mainlanders and a much more enjoyable family atmosphere.

[Ch28]

Also triple the price.

there's no admission fee and parking on the streets is free

[jinxcrusader]

I went to the all 3 last year. North Van was mainly food trucks and local 'arts and crafts'. Felt a lot like a Farmers Market to me lol

Farmer's market > "market" with cheap useless shit from China

[ae101]

no love for the surrey market :troll:

[meowjinboo]

i like the night market just so i can eat a shitload of different food.

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

uh or u can go to all of them over the course of the next half year lol.

[Spoon]

i like the night market just so i can eat a shitload of different food.

Been almost a decade. But if I ever need a dose of ex-lax, I'll be sure to go back.

[ZN6]

Gotta get me some periwinkle snails.

[KuSouL]

how was the first weekend? anyone try?

[hpratvfrk]

I designed the coupon book for the Night Market on River Road! Let me know what you guys think, and if it actually did help you save money, LOL.

[Purely]

Went to Bridgeport last night, pretty disappointed that they charge $2 admission fee now.

Most of the stalls aren't opened yet.

[HonestTea]

It was already dead last year without the admission fee...I can only imagine how dead it'd be this year.

[smaggs]

I prefer the admission charge...it makes the parking lot much less hectic getting in and out. As said before, lots of stalls not open yet but what is open food wise is nice...more variety. There was an indian food booth (tried the butter chicken and it was delish) and a marble slab booth that hadn't opened up yet.

[skyxx]

Charged admission includes "Free" parking. So no more parking far away for those of you who do.

[PLUJ]

Haven't been to the night market for years, will probably go this year.

Yup Home Depot

[KuSouL]

those of you that went, food recommendations?

gonna check it out next weekend

[smaggs]

Indian booths' butter chicken is good, but it's a full plate so doesn't give you much room to try other stuff.

Singapore jerky was a nice quick snack while deciding what else to eat.

Cream filled cylinder pastries (??) are funny to watch fobs eat, not sure how they taste.

[E46 8=====D ~~~]

The fish & chips from "the fish god" are amaze balls. So is their lemon iced tea

[Gazorcoop]

Pingoo frozen yogurt. New place that is delicious.

[meowjinboo]

I dont care for that nightmarket. i like the one at riverrock. Just feels better.

[meowjinboo]

dissapointed. food prices have gone up and quality went way down :(

[SpeedStars]

Did anyone go to the riverport one yesterday? If so, how does it compare to the Home depot one?

[Mr.HappySilp]

Charged admission includes "Free" parking. So no more parking far away for those of you who do.

Same with the riverock one =D park at riverrock, goes in the casino use washroom then goes to ngithmarket which is like a 5 to 10min walk?

[KuSouL]

went to both ... the river rock one is just not worth the pain if all you care about is food

the home depot one was pretty damn crowded too last night tho, but foods good, especially cause i went to the home depot one late and everything was on sale

[DC2aDDicT]

Went to the Home Depot night market last nigt hoping to see the panda exhibit but they won't be there til June something. I was disappoint, i wish they put the exact date on their website.

Food was still good but i noticed less booths that actually sells products.

Can someone tell me if having a collapsible baton illegal? If it is, why are they allowed to sell them at NM? Same goes for swords.

[jlo mein]

Both are legal for purchase. Batons are illegal if carried concealed or carried in any method at a public meeting or government building.

[LightKeeper]

What do you guys think about the candy castle in river rock night market?

[snails]

LG's. :awwyeah:



:worthless:

[Anjew]

dont go to the takoyaki stand that has all flavors but octopus at the bridgeport one. It was under cooked and took nearly 30minutes waiting for it.

[nabs]

[LightKeeper]

open til 11 tonight?

Maybe until 12.

[CraZyJLyN]

Mmmm food on sticks and phone cases as far as the eye can see...

[rriggi]

I was down to snack, until I saw the rat running out from behind the It's All About Grill stand at Bridgeport.

I literally have never lost my appetite as quickly as that.

Surrey Night Market (http://www.surreynightmarket.com)

Looks legit. News1130 is reporting on it:
SURREY (NEWS1130) – People in Surrey won’t have to drive far to take in a night market this summer.

One will take place at the Cloverdale Rodeo grounds, starting July 4th. It will be similar to the night market in Richmond.

“It’s about time we had something of our own in Surrey,” says organizer Satbir Cheema.

“It’ll be totally multicultural. There’ll be food from different nationalities, different cultures. There’ll be vendors with different products,” says Cheema, who adds more than 120 people have already shown interest in setting up a booth.

There will also be entertainment at the market.

“There’ll be a stage where we’ll have three performances… [from] the local talent,” says Cheema.

The Surrey Night Market will run on Friday and Saturday nights from July 4th to August 30th.

[kkttsang]

is there parking for the north vancouver night market?

[meowjinboo]

im kinda upset the richmond nightmarket doesnt have some cheak hindu/sikh eats.

[meme405]

is there parking for the north vancouver night market?

No. I mean there is parking in the area, but you have to walk a bit, and its spread out, and if you don't know the area then you might very well end up stumbling into the pay parkings instead of going into the free areas.

[Ch28]

is there parking for the north vancouver night market?

There's free street parking and paid parking in the area

[guurl]

surrey night market is coming soon

btw the fish sticks stand at RR NM is delicious :)
nomnomnom

[Obsideon]

Went to the HD NM for the first time in 3 years. The big red awning food stall that hogs up the corner selling shrimp dumplings have gotten a lot worse than before.
There seems to be more variety than before. I saw like 4 stands selling those over-rated potato sticks for $4 and all had quite a line-up.
My favourites were the Fish'n Chips and Fish God and the Chinese bun and BAOger. :thumbsup:

[Mrblee]

korean bbq tacos were amazing.

[Verdasco]

lol i know the owners of the fishsticks stand, looks good from the pictures....

[GabAlmighty]

Sooooo, if I understand the Bridgeport NM is more better for food and what not whereas the Riverrock one is more better for stuffs?

My side girl and I are going to the NM tonight and haven't decided which one yet, gotta be discreet so the misses don't find out.

[SpeedStars]

Lil Wayne - Side Bitch ( CARTER V ) - YouTube
:hotbaby:
The river rock one has multiples of many stores (3 takoyaki stores and like 4 case stores) whereas the Bridgeport one has a wider selection and arguably a similar amount of merchandize, so its really up to you. But the river rock one is a lot bigger and feels "cleaner"

[fliptuner]

Does the RR NM have Japanese Crepes this year?

[inv4zn]

Yes they do.

[KrAyZiE TRD]

Anyone know if the Bridgeport one has the car stand that was near the entrance last year that sold carbon fiber vinyl?
Or does any of the stands have cheap carbon fiber vinyl?

[Vansterdam]

is nightmarket open tmr for canada day?

[MG1]

There's money to be made Asians are in.

Just tonight, not tomorrow.

Today is going to be great weather as well! Richmond Night Market will be open today 7-11pm. We are NOT open on Canada Day.

[corollagtSr5]

Do they have squash air fresheners?

[kcl38]

Wasn't impressed with Bridgeport. Free parking that gets so busy you have to pay to park at HD anyways + pay for admission? No ty.

[corollagtSr5]

So where the air fresheners at?

[hotjoint]

I'm heading to the surrey night market tonight

[320icar]

Just got back from the river rock casino night market. Delicious Taiwanese fried chicken and popcorn chicken. Had to vtak it home quick though, a horrendous case of soup-ass.

Eater beware

[DC2aDDicT]

How was the surrey location? Tried to go there last night at 10 thinking there would be less line up. When i got there the line up was a a gong show. I think they only have 1 entrance so a good 100+ people were lined up from the entrance all the way to the parking lot. I turned around as soon as i saw it and trying to get out of there was even worse. 2 lanes in/out but no sidewalk so i was basically inches away from the pedestrians.

I will try again next week.

It was packed and yes only 1 entrance/exit. $2 admission. We got there about 7:30, line up was huge but moving so it took us about 30 mins to get in. Lots of food carts. There were vaporizer stands, contact lenses stands, phone accessories stands, candy stands etc.. typical stuff.

[jinxcrusader]

I wonder which location has cheapest airfreshners.

[411ken]

How was parking for the Surrey NM

Lots were filled but people steadily coming out so spots opened up frequently. There's tons of parking on the side streets

Vancouver Chinatown Night Market (http://vancouverchinatownnightmarket.com/)

It's really too bad, cause to me, it was a real nightmarket because it was an actual street that got closed down for the night. Hey, that's the way the fortune cookie crumbles.

Looking forward to Powell Street Festival in two weeks.

Chinatown night market how I miss it, I grew up with that there, it was my childhood sad to see it go...

-went to the market behind Home Depot tonight.

-good food at this market. -really quiet atmosphere here with boring entertainment at the stage. Polynesian dancing. :sleepingzz:


Strange incident tonight.

Some random guy walks up to me near the market entrance.

Here's the conversation between us:

"Hey, do you wanna buy my car? It's a sick ride".

"No, I'm waiting here for my friend".

"You see that yellow Civic? That's my ride. It's for sale".

"Hey man. If I'm buying a car, it would be a sport sedan, not your coupe".

"No problem, I can make my Civic into a sedan"

"Oh really??? No dude, just post it on Craigslist".

The guy walks away looking frustrated."

I start laughing. :fulloffuck: :lawl:

[carisear]

Went to the home depot one two nights ago, and manit was dead. I don't know if it's just because of the time of the year, but over 1/2 the food stalls were packed up and gone. And the food there seemed quite a bit worse than the RR one.
