"The mega-popular New York food market that launched in 2011 in Brooklyn and has since expanded to additional NYC locations and a market in Los Angeles is behind the new club-setting activation. Now entering its 15th season, the market says this is its first time bringing a permanent vendor rotation into a nightclub-style space, with a late-night service model and a vendor-rotation plan intended to refresh offerings multiple times over the year. The market’s team is handling vendor curation and a Heineken-sponsored bar for the effort." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Now entering its 15th edition, the hugely popular, globally oriented New York City seasonal food market returns this spring, adding 20 new food vendors and a mix of New York and international offerings — Northern Chinese meat pies, French madeleines, Jamaican coco breads, and hot dogs among them. It kicks off on Friday, April 4 at the Oculus at the World Trade Center in the Financial District (Fulton and Church streets); the Williamsburg market follows on Saturday, April 5 at Marsha P. Johnson State Park (90 Kent Avenue at North Seventh Street); and the Prospect Park market opens on Sunday, April 6 at Breeze Hill. Going forward, each market will operate on its designated day weekly from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. through October. Returning vendors include Birria LES, BunNan Plantain Destination, Hen House, Oyster Party, Rackette Street, Yakitori Tatsu, and many others. Founded in 2011 by Brooklyn Flea co‑founders Eric Demby and Jonathan Butler, the market has since expanded beyond New York City to additional locations including Los Angeles." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The popular food market is returning this spring, with its first day on Friday, April 4 inside the Oculus in the Financial District; it will run every Friday through October. Co-founders Eric Demby and Jonathan Butler are again organizing concurrent Smorgasburgs at other locations." - Nadia Chaudhury
"I’m reporting that Smorgasburg’s lineup expands starting July 14 with five new vendors—Mariscos Los Corchos, Sweet Selma’s Bagels, House of Mofos, Saulitos BBQ, and Fry Stop—and that Smorgasburg will launch its annual Ice Cream Alley on July 21 with scoops from Moom Maam, Kinrose Creamery, and more." - Rebecca Roland
"I plan to visit the World Trade Center edition when it opens on April 5; after that it runs every Friday at the Oculus, 185 Greenwich Street, near Church Street." - Luke Fortney
