Browsin' Brooklyn (Part TWO)
Friday, May 16, 2014There's primarily two reasons why I love New York so much:
1. Food
2. Atmosphere
When you combine these two things together in one place it might as well be heaven. As mentioned in my previous post, Andrew (Brian's friend) had made a promise to the both of us that he would take us out to a flea food market later that evening (click here to read previous post). Hearing that, we were half ecstatic, but also half worried at the same time because we couldn't even bear to imagine how in the world would we be able to stomach even MORE food. Regardless, an experience is an experience so we decided to mentally (and stomach-ally) prepare ourselves for the feast...
There's really not much I can say about the Smorgasburg food market besides that it actually happens every Saturday at Williamsburg during the Fall and Spring time. They have over 100 vendors that sells and display their top picks from their restaurants. Not only is this a great way to really introduce and market their products out to the public, they make quite a bit of money from being a part of this flea food market as well. I believe Andrew said that a few of the vendors DO raise the prices of the dish that they sell at the festival so you might be paying more than what it's actually selling for at the local restaurant. Regardless, it's the experience that matters, right? Most of the food prices ranged between the $3-$10 mark so it wasn't TOO overly priced, but portion wise it's almost like a "deluxe sample" of the actual dish.
Anyways, I'm going to stop yapping away now and let my photos do the work for me. You've been warned... Lots of goody fatness coming your way!
The festival is held outside and you can enjoy the sights of the city while gorging on your food. Please ignore how dark these photos are... It was actually very cloudy and gloomy that Saturday evening (a storm was coming...).

Yes, flea markets are always the best thing ever! You get to really see and try things that aren't normally available anywhere else.
