it's hard to put "smorgasburg" into words. think: buffet of heavenly delights here on earth surrounded by others who worship food with the same dedication and vigor as you do. or in simpler terms- a giant outdoor food market filled with a bunch of new yorkers. hands down, smorgasburg is my favorite weekend activity to do in new york. it's always my first recommendation, given that i've gone three straight weeks in a row.
what's better? smorgasburg-slash-brooklyn flea is located in several locales around this humble borough, giving manhattanites an excuse to travel across the east river into unknown territory. i must say out of all the locations--fort greene, williamsburg, dumbo, DUMBO trumps all. it is nestled in a nook right under the brooklyn bridge in an empty brick footprint of an old building, right on the waterfront, with a killer view of lower manhattan all the way up to the williamsburg bridge. just beyond the market is an expanse of green lawns sprinkled with saplings where you can recoup between binges under the precious shade.
#eeeeeats included: pigs in a blanket, vermont maple lemonade, halva spread by brooklyn sesame, faux-liver, lavender & chocolate-cardamom shortbread cookies, truffle salami, fried chicken & waffles, eggplant parm toastettes, nutella ice cream sandwich, blue marble mint ice cream, coconut sticky rice, and pupusas.
