UPTOWN NIGHT MARKET

MHG, an esteemed hospitality group situated in the vibrant city of New York, is driven by a clear and impactful mission. Our primary focus is producing and promoting exciting, affordable, and inclusive experiences for the New York Love-To-Eat community while passionately supporting small businesses, particularly those owned by people of color, women, LGBTQIA, and immigrants.

In 2017, Marco Shalma, the visionary founder, laid the foundation for MHG with a deep commitment to creating remarkable culinary offerings and culturally immersive events. The journey commenced with the Bronx Night Market, an innovative and unique food event that responded to the borough's craving for something extraordinary. Encouraged by the overwhelming response from the local community and small business owners, we embarked on a mission to extend our concept to various neighborhoods.

Our dedication bore fruit in 2021 when the Uptown Night Market became Manhattan's premier foodie gathering, drawing a crowd of over 20,000 visitors on each occasion. However, we weren't content with limiting ourselves to two boroughs. Partnering with Industry City, we crafted the Brooklyn Night Market, an alluring celebration of local flavors and exceptional talent.

A testament to our commitment to inclusivity, the Vegan Night Market in Central Park, unveiled in 2023, catered to vegans and vegan-curious, featuring an enticing and diverse array of offerings, quickly becoming a must-go foodie destination.

At MHG, we understand that our impact extends beyond hosting events; it encompasses our pioneering work in marketing, aesthetics, and social justice. We're currently working on launching the Latin, Long Island, Catskills, and African Night Markets.

Our reputation has attracted esteemed partnerships with prominent organizations such as the Central Park Foundation, NYBG, NYRR, and The Mayor's Office, as well as renowned brands like Disney, Coca-Cola, WM, Target, and Nissan. Our extensive portfolio includes large-scale festivals, artisan pop-ups, food halls, and concept stores, exemplifying our commitment to shaping the industry with innovation and trendsetting approaches.

MHG gatherings are more than just food events; they genuinely celebrate cuisine, culture, and community. We take immense pride in curating experiences that bring joy to our attendees and uplift and empower small business owners who play a vital role in the rich tapestry of our city's diversity. We strive to create a more equitable, enjoyable, and meaningful New York for all.
