The market was named the #9 best restaurant in New York City by The New York Times in 2023.[5]

The market hosts independent vendors each night, selling food, art, and merchandise; as of 2019, it has featured food from over 80 countries.[6] When it launched in 2015, it introduced a $5 price cap on all food available for sale at the event. The price cap has since been raised to $6.[7]

A cookbook with vendor stories and recipes, The World Eats Here: Amazing Food and the Inspiring People Who Make It at New York's Queens Night Market by John Wang and Storm Garner, was published in 2020.[8]

The event has ATMs, sells beer and wine,[7] and hosts live entertainment each Saturday night. To date, the event has hosted approximately 200 free live performances.[6]

The event was paused during the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City in 2020.[8][9] It reopened with ticketed entry under public health regulations in June 2021[10] and resumed regular operations in July 2021.[11][12]
