Weekend Events: Smorgasburg (Brooklyn)

Welcome to Smorgasburg in Brooklyn, New York

...where the hippy hipster of Williamsburg roam free (on the weekends).

Kind of like your typical Night Market, only served up during the day with all your local/popular favorite restaurants around New York City.

We went on Saturday for Smorgasburg instead of Sundays' Brooklyn Flea. But no worries, because Brooklyn also has a famous (and might I add, HUGE) vintage store a few minutes of walking called Beacon's Closet. Much to say, it didn't stink. =0)

Here's a peek of some of the food vendors there:

They literally put sticky rice into a bamboo shoot and you use a flat stick to scoop it out. It looks.... hmmm... interesting. 

This looked the best out of all the vendors. It's a simple Chicken & Waffles (photo above). But it was a medium/big proportion compared to the rest of the vendors I passed by.

Pulled pork looked good and we almost got it.... 

They've got different tastes all over the world. These spring rolls looked pretty good. I wanted to get some, but their portions were much too small.

After looking at all the savory vendors (I totally forgot to take photos of the "sweet" vendors, not many but a small hand full), this is what we ended up trying..... and it was......

BOSSANOVA

It was rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreally great chicken burgers. 

Okay..... so you're probably thinking, "but CHICKEN burgers? No way can it be better than regular beef burgers." Well... that may be true, but not the burger I had.

I ordered a very new and fresh take on burgers --> Green Apple Chicken Burger. It had slices of green apple, goat cheese and a very tasty cranberry sauce.

Look at that.... even the bun is hearty goodness. =0)

The chicken patty was so juicy and tender, I was really taken back by how plump the patty was. And then... when my tongue hit the goat cheese then the craneberry sauce and then the apple slices, I was simply in heaven. 

What a burger! That was gourmet to the top level, my friends!

The sweetness of the cranberry didn't overpower the patty because the chewiness of the bread helped absorb some of it making it taste even better with every bite.

My friend ordered a very juicy Chick Mac that could easily whip a beef cheeseburger out of the water. 

It's an all-american type burger and it was AWESOME too!

The whole experience was very fun and it wasn't overcrowded to the point where you can hardly move. It's located at the edge of Brooklyn (close to the Williamsburg bridge). They even have a section for people who wanna picnic-it, but you should beware that the ground hardly has any grass and it's not very pretty. 

But for the tourist in me, you can see the cityscape of New York City and that's a beautiful thing.

Cheers to a beautiful first time visitor of Brooklyn! It's not shabby at all!
