Abstract: There is a growing body of works on culinary craft in cities and towns of developing nations. Cosmopolites, the unmarried and the childless, the trapped, the deprived and ethnic villagers, often seek opportunities for other income sources other than known paid jobs to cope with urban life. Outside fares culinary craft in Calabar Metropolis was surveyed using field observation and recording, photographic camera and oral interviews in generating data for the study. Results revealed that the highest employments occurred at Ekorimin catchment with a total of 45 percent, 35 percent at the Mobil MCC Road, 13 percent at the RCC Roundabout, while 9 percent was recorded at the Unical Hotel Road. Results equally revealed that the operators of the fares face challenges of high levies by the state government. It was recommended that the state government should adopt inclusive planning to accommodate outside fare culinary craft as a means of boosting tourism and hospitality in the Metropolis.
