Tonight’s Night Market will be a test for The Food Trust as it puts unprecedented control of the insanely popular street food festival in the hands of its co-sponsoring community organization–in this case, Mt. Airy USA.
As the trust moves to host increasing numbers of events across the city, it’s looking to delegate more responsibility to its non-profit partners whose duties (until now) have generally been limited to corralling neighborhood restaurant owners, shopkeepers, volunteers and residents. But last year’s market in Mt. Airy was so successful that food trust employees are returning tomorrow to conduct a pilot program that has Mt. Airy USA-–the same partner as last year-–handing duties like permitting, security and logistics. Previous Night Markets have drawn upwards of 20,000 people, so it’s a lot to manage, and we wish them luck.

As we mentioned in our food truck schedule round up, a new food truck is coming to town. Local 215 will be a “food truck for foodies,” serving a variety of dishes with ingredients sourced from the city and the surrounding area. Local 215 will be making its debut at the Night Market in Mount Airy this Thursday, August 16th from 6-10:30pm.
Highlights from Local 215’s menu include a roasted pork shoulder sandwich with apple and cabbage slaw, crispy polenta triangles topped with pork belly, cheese, or veggies, and an apple cider sugar rolled pretzel. If their menu tastes as good as it sounds, Local 215 may work its way to the top of Philly’s already thriving truck scene.

So last night was the year’s first Night Market and we had Yoni Nimroad (of Cook fame, and current occasional photo ninja for the Foobooz Mobile Party Unit) on scene with his camera to capture the sights and scenes.
While a picture might be worth a thousand words, it’s also worth zero calories, so if you couldn’t make last night’s Night Market, maybe these snaps will show you what you missed. On the other hand, if you were there, now you’ll have a record of all the awesomeness to show your friends. And who knows? Maybe Yoni made you famous…
