Smorgesburg
Yesterday we were introduced to Smorgesburg, a bonanza of gourmet food by the water in Williamsburg. It truly is a smorgesboard of the most delicious foods, and it’s right next to a park so the kids can run around after getting a dose of the market.
Run by the people at the Brooklyn Flea, another one of my favorite Brooklyn haunts, there are over 100 vendors of every kind, offering samples of their offerings from Mexican cemita sandwiches to Shanghai-style banana-ricotta spring rolls to heirloom bean seeds to small-batch ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. It’s truly a meeting of the hipsters every Saturday, from 9-5, rain or shine, at the East River Waterfront, between 6 & 7 Streets.
The kids weren’t as into it as my husband and myself – we sampled everything, from tempeh to delicious jams to frozen banana, mustards, cheese, ice pops (even that my children weren’t in favor of, the flavors were too exotic), thai food, spices, noodles, pickles beef jerky, pastries, cupcakes, chocolate covered bananas and so much more. The beauty of the market is that whoever wanted could try samples of everything and then purchase a portion if we desired. Our friends who live in the area go regularly for breakfast. If you have kids with adventurous taste buds, they will delight in the tastes and sensations of all the delicious cuisine. Ours did try their share, and I delighted in the tastes hitting their taste buds.
