The residency is meant to provide students at the nearby LaGuardia Community College and workers in the neighborhood with additional breakfast and lunch options and spotlight traditional foods from around the world, made by the people who grew up eating them.

The Falchi Building at 31-00 47th Ave. is home to such tenants as Tourneau, Lyft and Uber, according to its website.

The Queens Night Market started in 2015 and is open seasonally at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing.

It will return for the 2020 season on April 18.
