Montefiore Einstein was front and center at the Bronx Night Market, an open-air food and drink festival bustling with food vendors, small businesses, nonprofits, community organizations and musical performers in a celebration of cuisine, culture and community.
The market, in its seventh year, ran every last Saturday of the month from 1 p.m to 7 p.m., May through October at One Fordham Plaza, featured 60 vendors from more than 40 countries and a variety of merchandise, with live music, and thousands of participants each week.
Our mission at the market was to bring Bronx residents community health information and resources like our Rethink Your Drink initiative, which helped educate residents on how much sugar is being consumed in different drinks, from water to soda, to encourage healthy drink choices. This is just one of Montefiore Einstein’s many health equity programs that it brings to our Bronx community as an ally in good health.
