THE CITY's reporting on Corona Plaza's reopened vendor market describes 'tough competition for just over a dozen stalls' after the city cut the market from roughly 80 vendors down to 14 permitted blue-canopy spots, with elote and esquites stands — including Ricos Elotes' Dorito esquites with cheese, mayo, hot sauce, and fresh lime — among the biggest draws just blocks from Flushing Meadows and the US Open grounds, per THE CITY.

Because only 14 city-allotted stalls now serve a market that once hosted dozens of vendors, demand at the surviving stands routinely outstrips supply during peak hours, per THE CITY's coverage; the market runs 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday, per follow-up reporting on the reopened market.

//When the line peaks
Weekend afternoons/evenings during the market's Wednesday–Sunday, 9 a.m.–8 p.m. operating window, per Gothamist reporting on the reopened market. Elevated demand during US Open (late August–September), given proximity to Flushing Meadows, per THE CITY.
