More street foodage coming your way: this Saturday six mobile vendors are kicking off a new weekly event called the Capitol Hill Night Market. Those vendors include Buns, Street Treats, Lumpia World, Fusion on the Run, Curry Now! and Pai’s, and they’ll set up in the old BMW lot at Harvard and Pike from 9pm-3am (!)

"Most successful cities in the world have outdoor places people can go and linger at night, maybe shop a little, or get some quick bites. Seattle is (as usual) behind in this area and we want to change that," says Amy Novak of Buns, noting the market is the brainchild of Diane Skwiercz of Street Treats. "This is really a baby step in that direction."

As of now the trucks are taking up half of the lot, so Skwiercz and company might open it up to more than just curb cuisine. "If it is successful and well-patronized we may continue this indefinitely through the winter," Novak added.

Here’s an animated rendering of the market:
