A mural created to promote Fishtown Overnight Market was added to a wall near the site on Allen Street in Fishtown.Those craving bacon burnt ends, a plate of shrimp and salmon, or perhaps red-wine-braised short ribs in the middle of the night have had fewer options since the pandemic upended night-owl dining.
Fishtown has been ripe for such a destination, said Marc Collazzo, director of the Fishtown-Kensington Business Improvement District, who worked on the market with Manning and Councilperson Mark Squilla. Manning said if the market succeeds, it could be replicated elsewhere in the city. “But first, we want to see how it benefits the business and the residents,” Manning said. The area around the new market has few nearby residents, and any sound is mitigated by I-95 overhead.
“If you work in hospitality and you don’t get off till 2, most people assume you’ve eaten because you’re in a restaurant, but you’re working,” Manning said. “Where do they go to get something quality to eat?”
