Looks Delicious
If you are planning to walk the more than 30 city blocks of BLINK, you’re going to get hungry. Between delicious Asian street food and hometown favorite cookies, you be able to BLINK for even longer this weekend.
For that sugar fix, light up your taste buds with the first Official Cookie of BLINK.
“We’ve made a point this year to engage all the senses at BLINK,” said Justin Brookhart, executive director of BLINK. '“This collaboration with Busken takes that to a new level.”
Two versions of BLINK cookies will be available at four area Busken locations – Hyde Park, Highland Heights, Springdale and Eastgate – as well as at the BLINK pop-up shop Limelight, 1326 Vine St., Cincinnati.
Mini cookies, shaped like the iconic BLINK eyeball, will be sold along with mini sprinkle cookies in tubs of approximately 25 for $10.85. Patrons can also pick up individually wrapped Original Iced Busken cookies with the BLINK logo for $2.50 each.
“We’re thrilled to be the official cookie of BLINK – this cookie will surely add some sweetness to Cincinnati’s brightest event of the year!” said Dan Busken, president of Busken Bakery.
Need dinner, a late-night snack, or a savory pick-me up? Head to the Asianati Night Market at Court Street Plaza all four nights of BLINK.
With authentic street food dishes from 11 Asian restaurants and three popup vendors serving one-day specials, the latest edition of the night market has more food vendors, art installations, family-friendly games and prizes, celebrity guests, and a cosplay contest presented by Tokyo Kitty.
Asianati celebrates the richness of Asian American culture in Cincinnati. In 2010 Asianati created the Asian Food Fest, which is now a delicious annual Cincinnati tradition.
The Asianati Night Market was a crowd favorite during the last BLINK. Located on Court Street Plaza, ANM brings an exciting mix of food, drinks, shopping, culture, and family-friendly activities in a brilliant light-based installation.
New this year, Asianati Night Market is rounding-out the night market experience with new gift shopping options from local AAPI-businesses.
Family-friendly activities make an exciting return with free light-based activities suitable for all ages. Popular ticketed games like Duck-Duck Scoop are also back for those who want to test their skill and coordination. And new this year, we're adding our first Cosplay competition!
Most exciting of all, the Asianati Night Market will open its food stalls at 5 p.m. every night, giving BLINK-goers the perfect opportunity to fuel-up on delicious food before the rest of Blink opens at 6pm.
