You would think associating a flea market with a food fair would not be good marketing but Williamsburg being the funky neighborhood it is manages to pull it off.........
The sun was a little high in the sky so photography was difficult but I gave it my best shot.
One of the toughest parts of the fair is the amount of choices you have. I ended up buying (there was two of us) two porchetta sandwiches, a couple of hotdogs and and an order of sausage Terriyaki balls. The food was excellent but as you walked around and seen other peoples plates you kept thinking you wanted to try that. So just based on the choices I will be making a return trip.
Along with the food truck type vendors there are also some cool food products and a green market.
Of course an added bonus of the market site right on the Brooklyn waterfront is a great view of the Manhattan skyline.
We ended our day walking over the Williamsburg bridge and seen a neighborhood still in transition unlike the area directly around the market site which is fully gentrified.
In this set you can even see the shuttered Domino’s sugar plant.
So get yourself to Brooklyn on a Saturday and go hungry.

ReplyDeleteWillliamsburg is a short hop from Manhattan but not so short from whee I live in the Bronx. But this is really worth the trip. I noticed some very cool looking restaurants in the neighborhood.

ReplyDeleteI have to go to this to this it looks awesome. I'm going to find a reason to be in NY then head here :)
ReplyDeleteMan, I already have major issues picking what to eat at the Fort Greene flea...I'm a little scared of the Smorgasburg variety. Still hitting it the second I get back to the city, though, obviously!
ReplyDeletePS - That bike planter is so, so awesome...
Celia I know what you mean about choice. But be sure to visit with friends and have everyone buy something different then meet up for an eat up..
ReplyDeleteI loved the bike planter too much, nearly got hit by a car when was in the street with my camera.
Great photos! Those hot dogs are hot stuff! And that green bike? I want that! Buzzed
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to get to Smorgasburg... I must do that one weekend this summer!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! You really brought the market here....thanks! (Buzzed!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing the market to some of us who cannot get there right away!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your trip to the market! Your pictures really reveal that I have missed out on all the fun.
ReplyDeleteI love going to outdoor markets, but have yet to attend one up north.
Great photos as always! You live in one of the great food cities of the world and we so enjoy your photographic wanderings... love the green bike, too!
ReplyDeleteLove your smorgasbord of photos, Mike. I'm putting this food flea market on my list for when I get to go back to NY. Those hot dogs look amazing.
