Smorgasburg is a great collection of local Brooklyn vendors that decends upon the East River park. Get there early as long lines form, especially for the popular bbq and ramen burger places. The wing place has a nice picnic area with a bar for sitting and enjoying the view and ambiance of the park. Spend a whole day and take a tour of the cuisines of the world from Mexico to India to Thailand to Texan BBQ. The park also has a ton of great places to sit and enjoy your purchases while taking in panoramic views of Midtown Manhattan.

The Smorgasburg is also known as food heaven. There are so many stands to choose from that it is overwhelming, everywhere you look you see something you want to try. My suggestion is to go with a small group so that you can each try the foods you want, but then you can taste test what your friends get. It's a win-win situation. You really can't go wrong- just pick a stand and start from there. I recommend going to the stands with smaller portions so that you can try more things without filling up. This is easier said then done. I speak from experience after having a parsley panko schnitzel sandwich with pickled cucumbers, daikon, shallots, ginger, and caramelized onion mustard that was served on fresh pretzel bread. It's called the Bamberg and the stand is called Schnitz and it was incredible.

Look, just go. There's a reason you're in New York: because you want to keep up with the newest and the hotter and the hippest. For food, it's all at Smorgasburg. It's on Saturdays only. Bring $20 and some sunscreen and you'll have the most amazing lunch ever. (Hey, make an afternoon out of it by catching the East River ferry just a block away. Get off at Wall Street, or Governors Island, or just feel the wind in your hair and come back for another pomegranate-hibiscus donut.)

I had been to Smorgasbar in the Seaport on my lunchbreak before so when friends texted me if I wanted to check out Smorgasburg on a late Saturday afternoon, I readily accepted. The weather was surprisingly amazing for what was supposed to be thunderstorms/rain/slush. Tons of people and vendors made an appearance on what I like to call a 'fake beach' but with a breath-taking view of Manhattan. I couldn't decide on what to get with there being such a huge amount of options! I am hugely disappointed to say though that I don't remember for the life of me where I got my lunch. I had what turned out to be an ENORMOUS tasty brisket sandwich with white provolone cheese, onions, fried kimchee I think, and Mayo. I added a bit of hot sauce as well to it from the side table. I know it wasn't Quinn's because I saw the line wrapping around and how long it was and there were a million other options to pick from. It definitely wasn't Porchetta either and the website for Smorgasburg doesn't have the vendor listed. Big frown. I'm almost positive the sandwich was oddly called 'The White Dragon' though, so of course I had to get it. There was a very generous, mammoth sized amount of moist brisket on this sucker though and the cheese and mayo just added to my later heart attack. But I liked it. Glad I didn't eat anything before coming here. I also ended up getting a Mango Lemonade from Bon Chovie which was pretty great. One of my friends got a southern biscuit with fried chicken from Bee Hive Oven and another got a cornmeal crusted cod sandwich with chipotle slaw and kettle chips from also Bon Chovie. That was seriously almost my second pick or something from Porchetta because I've been wanting to try that for awhile. We topped off our experience with doughnuts from Dough. Which none of us 'needed' but 'wanted'. I ended up with the Hibiscus because most of the chocolaty ones had already sold out. But it was great! A million times better than Duncan and tasted kind of like a raspberry floral jam infused doughnut. Perfect idea for a picnic if you want to purchase instead of make your own food. My friend also said most of the vendors here were at GoogaMooga and unless you want to go to a concert, cancels out the point of GoogaMooga entirely. My only complaints are that I personally don't like crowds and I melt/burn in the sun. Not a ton of places for shade. But we didn't stay too long and I had spf 5000 on.

This place is wonderful! Yummy food paired with great Cityscapes is a perfect way to spend your Sunday. If you're a tourist or a local, you will definitely enjoy everything that DUMBO and Smorgasburg have to offer. You meander through the old brick buildings (Old Tobacco Warehouse) and taste test all the local food fair, what's not to love? They have tons of vendors but I recommend that you visit the actual website to check if your favorite foodies are there. They do have other locations for Smorgasburg but after going to Williamsburg vs DUMBO, they are two completely different experiences so you should definitely visit BOTH to take in the entire experience.

There is a ton of food at this flea market. Bound to be something for everyone. My personal favorite was the turkey leg and the lumpia from Lumpia Shack. The Kare Kare special was the bomb. Kelvin's slush is always a winner too.

Great atmosphere! Perfect for Summer Saturdays to lounge and eat high quality NYC food from pop-up shops. Try the tuna tacos at the Japanese taco stand. Go early to get oysters because they run out by mid-afternoon. Plenty of places to lounge with a great view of the Manhattan skyline.

Went for the first time with my wife today 4/28/13, 72 degrees, after walking the Brooklyn Bridge. I was expecting a flea market with some food stands. What I found was an eclectic huge food court of various artisans. It was very crowded. Unfortunately, this contributed to some very long lines at some of the more popular stands. I began at a BBQ stand which had the longest line in the place, after 10 minutes I jumped over to a Bolivian stand with no line. Both of these stands, as several others we saw, were not run well. They had a terrible work flow, and no
