Smorgasburg Williamsburg

"Famed outdoor food market Smorgasburg relaunched in mid-July with a takeout-only model called Smorg To Go. For the new model, the market moved across the street from its former flagship location into a smaller outdoor lot that holds ten vendors that rotate out each week. Ordering takes place on a new Smorg To Go website, and while there is no outdoor dining on site, customers are encouraged to take their food to the nearby waterfront Marsha P. Johnson State Park. A second Smorg To Go location has also popped up in Prospect Park this month. Check Smorgasburg’s site for the vendor lineups each week." - Erika Adams, Tanay Warerkar

It’s especially useful when it looks like will take longer to make your than it takes Frank Ocean to release a new album. There are a handful of tables—somewhat of a rarity for quick-serve, late night options in the area. You can actually sit and enjoy your juicy, housemade piri-piri hot sauce-laden lamb shawarma wrap and not have to worry about trespassing on someone else’s stoop. While it’s not the city’s best shawarma, it is pretty damn crispy and satisfying, and it’s even better the closer you get to closing time. Be on the lookout for their gigantic fried chicken sandwich special. It’s spicy, juicy, and full of the acidic Lebanese pickles. " - Will Hartman
