Probably one of my favorite places to visit when I’m in Brooklyn. I was first introduced to Smorgasberg last year when visiting a friend. I immediately loved the outdoors setup and the variety of different vendors. Also, there are onsite ATMs, which makes things that much better. The variety of food was incredible. I was able to choose anywhere from Buttermilk Channel’s famous fried chicken to the best yeast donut I’ve ever consumed in my lifetime from Dough. I was a foodie in heaven. My first visit I tried about 4 – 5 vendors. I did not try any one food item that let me down. This year the setup of vendors differs from last year, give or take a few change ups. Overall, an awesome concept with a variety of awesome food vendors from all over New York.

There is nothing bad to say about this place. A ton of great food, a great crowd and atmosphere, the vendors are awesome and friendly, and did I mention the food? From the Ramen Burger, to the huge ribs, the delicious drinks, you can’t go wrong.

A great variety of vendkrs, excellent food, and awesime atmosphere. Everything was very tasty(especially the lobster rolls, the frenchfries with various dipping sauces, and the macaroons). The only drawback was that some prices were pretty high for a street fair. All in all, a great way to spend your Sunday afternoon.

A GREAT experience! This outdoor food-ganza with tents featuring artisanal food and drinks is an excellent example of food that taste great. Why? The people who make them are passionate and love what they make. First tried the oysters. PHENOMENAL! Shucked slowly as to not spill the precious liquor from inside the shells. Fresh as if picked out of the ocean right in front of you. Worth the $$$$ if you can afford it. Had to satisfy my carnivorous appetite afterwards. Had a turkey leg the size of my head, but what stood out to me was the slow roasted pork belly glazed with maple syrup. Simple like most of the best things are. There’s a long line for this one BBQ tent. Waited 30−45min on line. Not worth it. But what was worth it was the oven-pit on wheels for pizza made right in front of you! $ 5 a slice, worth every penny. Last words: There’s something for everyone! Come early to beat the crowds. Brooklyn Brewery is close so I suggest eating here before heading over there. Have fun, my friends!
