Queens street fairs draw a genuinely different vendor mix from Manhattan ones, and Rego Park's sits in the middle of a Bukharian and Central Asian commercial strip. The fair puts that food on the street rather than behind restaurant doors. It is free, it is one subway stop off the Queens Boulevard line, and it is a short enough route to walk end to end without committing an afternoon.
What to expect
A closed stretch of 63rd Drive between Queens Boulevard and Austin Street, lined with food stalls, craft and clothing vendors, community tables and inflatables for children. Free to walk. The route is compact enough to cover in both directions comfortably.
Good to know
- The producer, Clearview Festival Productions, had not posted hours for this fair when this was written
- The M and R trains stop at 63rd Drive-Rego Park, which puts you at the head of the fair
- 63rd Drive is closed to traffic along the route, so buses in the area may be rerouted
- The surrounding blocks are a Bukharian and Central Asian commercial strip worth walking past the fair itself
- Cross streets stay open, so you can step off the route at any point
- Several vendors are cash-preferred, so carry some
