Smorgasburg finally crossed the river, parking more than 25 vendors a few steps from the Columbus Circle entrance to Central Park. The later hours make it the one Smorgasburg you can hit after work, and the 2026 season's new vendors include Korean barbecue and Fuzhounese street food concepts. If Brooklyn feels too far for dinner, grab a plate here and walk it into the park.
What to expect
A compact row of vendor stalls near the park edge, with office crowds arriving in the late afternoon and tourists passing through all day. Take food into the park or eat standing at the market.
Good to know
- A, B, C, D and 1 trains at 59 St–Columbus Circle are steps away
- Smaller than the Brooklyn markets — plan a quick lap
- Evening hours make it a good post-work stop
- Bring a card; each vendor sells separately
- Central Park benches and lawns are a short walk in
