The Sunday Smorgasburg trades the Williamsburg waterfront for the greenery of Prospect Park, spreading dozens of cult food vendors across Breeze Hill near the Lincoln Road entrance on the Prospect Heights edge of the park. It's the same roster of buzzy startups and future storefronts, but with shade trees, lake views and a mellower, more local crowd. If your Sunday calls for grazing outdoors without the crush of the flagship, this is the weekend's easygoing food ritual.
What to expect
You'll find rows of open-air stalls tucked into a wooded corner of the park, with picnic-friendly lawns nearby for eating your haul. The pace is relaxed, the lines shorter than Williamsburg's, and the surrounding park invites a post-market stroll to the lake or Lakeside. Bring a blanket and make an afternoon of it.
