The only smoke foodies want to see is the smoke rising up from the grill — and there will be plenty of that Thursday evening once again.
A week after it was postponed due to the wildfire smoke that came pouring into New York City from Canada, the Uptown Night Market is returning to Harlem on Thursday.
The event ordinarily occurs every second Thursday of the month from April to October from 4 to 10 p.m., with this month's event delayed a week.
The open-air festival features more than 60 vendors to celebrate international cuisine, culture, and community.
