A melding together of "smorgasbord" and "Williamsburg," "Smorgasburg" is a gigantic Saturday food market hosted by the Brooklyn Flea. The open-air food court opens from 11am to 6 pm between Kent Avenue and the East River on the Williamsburg waterfront. Ordinarily, more than 50 local vendors sell handmade food from tidy stalls next to the East River.
The hurricane didn't hit Brooklyn as hard as it did Manhattan across the river, but I was surprised at how many businesses came out so soon after Sandy, one of the biggest storms to ever hit the northeast! It was quite chilly out so sellers didn't stay for long compared to the usual, but it was still good to see New Yorkers getting back on their feet.
