Do you really live in New York if you’ve never been to Smorgasburg… and did you really go to Smorgasburg if you didn’t post it on Instagram? Answer: Definitely not. If you don’t already know what Smorgasburg is, it’s a late spring to early fall-time food festival in Williamsburg and Brooklyn. Similar to a flea or farmer’s market, many vendors set up tents to sell their products, music plays, and people hop from booth to booth. Home to some signature treats, it’s a must-see spot on your NYC summer bucket list.
Here are some of the top treats to try from this food festival, documented by some basic b*tches.

A little twist on the college diet: Two “ramen buns” sandwiching an all-beef burger. If this doesn’t make your mouth water, I don’t know what will.
