"Williamsburg’s wildly-popular yet loved-to-be-hated food festival Smorgasburg is getting some pushback from local residents yet again, the Brooklyn Paper reports. Some members of the local community board say the food festival monopolizes East River State Park, where the festival takes place each year from April through October. Residents opposed to the festival — which attracts thousands of visitors each year — say the outdoor food festivities should end in July or August so locals can access more of the waterfront park during the summer months." - Tanay Warerkar
