佛r further evidence that Toronto is having its street food moment (and this in spite of dated by-laws), one need look no further than theStop's first annual Night Market. JoiningTUMand the various佛od Truck Eatsgatherings, this new event has some impressive vendors lined up — thinkBrockton General,Cowbell,Hawker Bar,Great Lakes Brewery,the Stockyards,Ursa,Woodlot, andYours Truly(to name a few) — and is ultimately all for a good cause.

Set to take place on June 20 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., the market will also breathe some new life into one of Toronto's iconic but underused spaces:Honest Ed's alley. With it's oh-so urban backdrop, it's the perfect setting for a night market. Well, that is if you don't mind close quarters. Here's betting it's going to get very tight in there once the proceedings get underway (which is kind of how it should be at a market, anyway).

Also worthy of note is that the food stalls will be hand built by a variety of local designers, includingBrothers Dressler,Fugitive Glue, and3rd Uncle. That won't make the food taste better, but it certainly ups the cool factor. And hopefully well designed stalls will make navigating the market a painless process.

At $50, the event isn't exactly cheap. But when you factor in that it's all you can eat and that the proceeds go to charity, it's hard to think that it won't be money well spent. For ticket info,check here.
