East Market, the Flavors of Little Italy

East Market is Milan’s vintage event dedicated to individuals and professionals, where everyone can buy, sell and trade. The more than 6,000 sq.m. of Via Mecenate gathers 300 selected exhibitors from all over Italy with thousands of unusual and extravagant items from the most sought-after vintage clothing to the finest handicrafts, from the rarest vinyl records to colorful furnishing accessories.
For this month only, in parallel with the usual market activities, a special area dedicated to Italian-American street-food will be available to the public. Nine food trucks will be the protagonists of the special Little Italy, dedicated to the famous Manhattan neighborhood born in the 1920s. The organizers wanted to recreate precisely those flavors of Italian-American street food, the result of the encounter between Italian and American culinary traditions.
