With the recent success of night markets in the Sunset and Chinatown, there's a push to make San Francisco a night market city.Now, it's becoming more of a reality that now includes eight neighborhoods. NBC Bay Area sat down with three leaders moving their communities forward – community leaders with a common goal: to bring people, business, culture and joy back into their communities.
"The grit of just the community and what they're willing to work hard for and create, it's mind blowing," Cornelius said. "We're really excited about blending the gap between the daytime businesses and the nighttime businesses," Asten Bennett said."This night market is going to really help bridge that gap and get people out into the Castro.""We all want to protect and uplift San Francisco culture, right?" Hollins said."Having Black folks as our neighbors and as restauranteurs and business owners helps.
"We are resilient," Asten Bennett said."People will come back because San Francisco's amazing. But we have to be there for them to come back."
