If anyone I know tells me they are heading
to New York soon, firstly I have a whine about how jealous I am, and then I
force them to say they will go to Smorgasburg in Brooklyn. Basically Smorgasburg
is a flea food market that happens every Sunday at Pier 5 in Brooklyn Bridge
Park from April to November. The market is set down by the water with
the most amazing views of the bottom of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge (you
can also see the Statue of Liberty, but honestly she does look a bit midget
from there so I wouldn’t try and get a photo).
Over the past few times I have been, I
tried to sample as many different foods that could fit in my stomach. The
famous ramen burger, a pumpkin flavored doughnut, fried cheese curd and some
good old-fashioned tacos, mac and cheese and fries. After you have eaten
yourself to the point of undoing your jeans (we’ve all been there), its great
to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge back to Manhattan as the sun is setting –
makes some amazing photos!
** Brooklyn Bridge Park is a fairly easy place to get to by subway from most places in Manhattan and I would 100% advise downloading the Subway map app just for general travel!
I also found going to Smorgasburg later in the afternoon meant it was a lot less busy, but take a jacket or extra layer as it gets cold and windy by the water!
