Driven by social media raves, nightly market in Lincoln Heights is too much of a good thing, frustrating neighbors.

The return of 626 Night Market, inspired by outdoor food markets in cities like Taipei, Bangkok and Hong Kong, is a sign that normal life is resuming.I visited the market last Wednesday and again Friday night, when it was mobbed, and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular.

But vendors told me they have to arrive early in the morning to stake a claim to a spot, and one vendor who no longer operates at the market said there was growing tension among vendors. Some vendors are selling liquor and running small bars without permits to do so, which makes for an edgier crowd roaming the neighborhood as the nights bleed into morning.
