Smorgasburg

The best reason to skip breakfast on a Saturday or Sunday is to save space to party at the Brooklyn Flea’s giant all-food market, Smorgasburg.  Set at the East River State Park in Williamsburg or in the old tobacco warehouse under the Brooklyn Bridge in Dumbo, it is a full-on adventure in deliciousness.

On the lookout:

Brooklyn Flea is opening Smorgasbar, a Food and Beer Garden at the South Street Seaport.  It’s an effort to bring some life back to the seaport which was severely damaged after Superstorm Sandy.  Starting Memorial Day 2013, check it out!  Brooklyn Flea is on it’s way to Philly, launching with about 100 vendors every Sunday.  Starting June 2, 2013, check it out !

As I mentioned on Wednesday, the Josie Girl Blog has a new contributing editor.  Thanks Ali for the great content and pictures! Have a great weekend.

  1. Great pictures. You just made my Friday afternoon. Have not been to Brooklyn Flea yet, but I definitely going there now. Thank you. Sue B

    • I wish I were free this weekend to go — it is supposed to be beautiful!

  2. I love the Smorgasburg best in Dumbo as then you have a view of Dumbo, the carousel, and Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory (just in case you are still hungry)
