Cambodian Street Food Market In South Philadelphia’s FDR Park | Directions
Saturday, September 7th, 201920190907 Initial Post | 20210502 Update
I had been to this park maybe 10 years ago and today we decided to visit the Cambodian street food vendors here. What irked me was that none of the articles I read had the exact location. So that is the reason for this post. If you go to https://goo.gl/maps/HZ4cQBy7ZbxdFu1P6, it takes you to the big parking lot in the middle of the park. You can either park there or on the side of the road near the entrance to the parking lot. The market is a short walk south of the parking lot, on the side of the main road in the park. This road is one-way and to leave the park you basically go in a big circle to get back to the main entrance/exit.
20210502 Update: I went today and the market is now on the opposite side of the park. Like before, they also sell toys, clothing, and misc. other things besides food. While there are some picnic tables and benches in the area, you should bring your own chairs or picnic blanket; you could easily spend several hours here between the market and other park activities. This new location appears to be more regulated by the city now (probably because of COVID-19) and there is an official parking lot for vendors and a sign with something like "vendor permit required."
