A FEAST FOR THE DAMNED
Beneath the flickering lights of the NJ Expo Center, the hunger begins to crawl. Step inside the Darkside International Street Food Court - a haunted hall of cursed cuisine where 10 sinister pop-up stations summon bold flavors from across the globe.
Sink your fangs into Thai street noodles, blood-red tacos, smoky Cajun sliders, and forbidden German bratwurst. Wander from cursed crêpes to ghostly dumplings, from falafel forged in fire to desserts sweet enough to raise the dead. And for those in search of elixirs, our alchemical beverage bar pours Darkside Sangre, chilling mocktails, and brews brewed to keep you hexed ‘til nightfall.
Each dish is a ritual. Every bite, a binding spell.
