For a couple Friday nights in August and September of 2024, some 20,000 visitors descended on the west end of San Francisco for the Sunset Night Market - maybe the biggest, splashiest night market the city had ever seen, occupying a whopping seven blocks of Irving Street.

I was keeping an 11-minute pace as I plodded down the Embarcadero; Cupid's Span, that enormous bow and arrow sculpture, was visible ahead. I had just forced myself to swallow the last bite of my first Crunchwrap Supreme, and two more bounced threateningly in the waxy brown bag.

Stop by on a weekend, though, and you may see some extra flavors like matcha and salted mocha.
