The Saturday Smorgasburg sits right on the East River in Williamsburg, so every plate comes with an unobstructed view of the Midtown skyline. It is the market that made the brand, and a Saturday here is still one of the easiest ways to taste a lot of new Brooklyn food businesses in a single afternoon. If your weekend plans include the waterfront, build lunch around it.
What to expect
Vendor tents line the park's paths with the river at your back, and the crowd builds steadily from late morning into mid-afternoon. Expect to queue for the most talked-about stalls, then find a spot along the water to eat.
Good to know
- Take the L to Bedford Av and walk west toward Kent Avenue, or take the NYC Ferry to North Williamsburg.
- The organizers note no pets are allowed at this location.
- Go early for shorter lines and easier seating near the water.
- Bring sunglasses; the waterfront gets strong afternoon light.
- Nearby Domino Park makes an easy walk after you eat.
