Among the ethnic music, rows of red tents and Chinese carts cooking up authentic Asian fare, Clevelanders may feel as if they stepped into a traditional night market in China. Night Market Cleveland crowds Rockwell Avenue with more than 100 businesses. Savor Asian eats such as SnowBros Shavery’s Taiwanese shaved ice, Li Wah’s pork belly buns and lamb skewers from Siam Cafe. While weaving through customary performers dressed as dragons, browse for a nugget of culture at Flower City Gift Shop’s booth that ties Chinese heritage with new-age culture. “I had this vision to modernize the shop,” says Danny Zhang, who recently took over Flower City Gift Shop from his father. “I am bringing young flair to Night Market.” Find customary Chinese souvenirs such as the Money Cat and Buddhas as well as more nontraditional incense, knives and glass jewelry.
