Despite what the forecasts this week may say, warm weather is (eventually) coming to New York and visiting Smorgasburg NYC is one of our favorite ways to celebrate the return of outdoor dining season.
All three locations of the foodie fair—Manhattan’s Oculus and Brooklyn’s Marsha P. Johnson State Park and Breeze Hill in Prospect Park—will be officially reopening for Smorg’s 14th season between Friday, April 5, through Sunday, April 7. And along with some tried-and-true favorites, this year’s edition has plenty of yummy new vendors padding out its biggest lineup in years (a whopping 70-plus vendors, overall).
RECOMMENDED: This new night market will kick off Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
Of the nearly 20 newcomers joining Smorgasburg’s returning roster of 60 vendors, six are first-generation immigrant-owned businesses and 11 are husband-and-wife- or family-run. And the new kids on the block will be serving up stuff to satisfy every craving, from fragrant Ethiopian stews (Emeye Ethiopian Cuisine) to Hawaii-style street comforts (Kalihi), from India's snacky pani puri (Bom Bae) to Montreal-style potato puff poutine (Poutine Dauphine).
Eat and explore your way through international delicacies like classic Trinidadian doubles (Double(s) or Nothin’), Portugal's pastéis de nata tarts (Lisbonata), Korea's honey-sweet yakgwa cookies, and Colombian hot dogs piled high with caramelized pineapple and shoestring potatoes (Perro Slang Food). Or, if you want a taste of something closer to home, try out the different bagels and unconventional schmear combinations from Brooklyn's own Bagel Joint. (Wasabi cream cheese? We're intrigued!) And there will be great beverages to wash it all down with, including 88 Coffee Company’s Viet iced creations and Fat Choy’s Hong Kong-inspired tea blends.
Along with those Smorg rookies, attendees will also be able to enjoy the delicious wares of returning vendors like mozzarella stick purveyor Big Mozz, okonomiyaki spot Oconomi, madcap doughnuttery Dough and many more. See the full scope of this year's food-and-drink offerings at the Smorgasburg website.
