SMORGASBURG Williamsburg
My 1st time at Smorgasburg Williamsburg in NYC and I loved!!! It's free admission and most of the booths have prices ranging from $5-$12, and a few others that sell their items at regular prices. I had constantly checked the website all summer to make sure they had the mozzarella sticks booth, and it would come up, but I never had time to go throughout the summer. so when I showed up on Saturday, it wasn't there😭💔so maybe I'll go early in the summer next year. they have 3 locations in NYC.
World Trade Center on Fridays
Williamsburg on Saturdays
Prospect Park on Sundays
it starts on the first weekend of April and runs until the last weekend in October.
I had Vietnamese sausage, Thai noodles, Japanese squid kebabs, bubble tea, cherry bites filled with dulce de leche, tacos, purple yam donuts🤣😭😭i was full and tired afterwards.
Cash and cards are accepted, but depending on the booth, food will be cheaper when paid with cash. /Smorgasburg Williamsburg
My first trip to Smorgasburg Williamsburg was an unforgettable whirlwind of flavors, but I definitely picked up some insider tips for anyone planning their own foodie pilgrimage! While I was initially on a quest for mozzarella sticks (which sadly weren't there that day – always check the website for vendor updates!), I discovered a whole universe of deliciousness. To truly conquer Smorgasburg, a little strategy goes a long way. First, let's talk about the crowd. Those high expose and low click queries about 'Smorgasburg Williamsburg crowd' are spot on. This place gets buzzing! If you prefer a more relaxed experience with shorter lines, aim to arrive right when it opens at 11 AM. You'll have the best pick of the stalls and more space to wander. However, if you love the vibrant, energetic atmosphere, coming later in the afternoon is fantastic for people-watching and soaking in the full Brooklyn food market vibe, even if it means a bit more waiting. Weekends are always peak, so be prepared for a lively scene! Now, for the food itself – the real star! The variety is astounding. Beyond the Vietnamese sausage, Thai noodles, and Japanese squid kebabs I tried, I spotted so many other incredible options. I wish I had known about some of the hidden gems sooner! For instance, look out for stalls like 'Grab My Buns!' which offers delectable bao buns, or the unique flavors from 'UYGHUR TANDOOR SAMSA,' serving up savory pastries. And don't miss out on the sweet treats; those 'Mini Churros Dulce de Leche' I saw in the pictures, along with 'coxinhas,' look absolutely divine. My advice? Go with a group and share! That way, you can sample a wider array of dishes without getting full too quickly. Plan your route, maybe even look up some vendors online beforehand to prioritize your must-tries. Another crucial tip I learned is about payment. While most stalls accept cards, many offer slight discounts for cash payments. Bringing a good amount of cash can save you a few dollars here and there, especially if you're trying several smaller items. Also, seating can be limited, so be prepared to perch on a curb or stand while you eat, which is all part of the authentic street food experience. And don't forget to stay hydrated – a refreshing bubble tea is always a good idea! Whether you're chasing the perfect 'skyline food market' photo or simply indulging your taste buds, Smorgasburg Williamsburg is a must-visit NYC destination.
