"We've been in Prospect Park for ten years now. It's become kind of our flagship. We love it. The city feels kind of siloed to me lately, but when you go to Smorgasburg, you feel it all coming together. That diversity of identity and experience is why a lot of people say they love living in Brooklyn."
"What's truly remarkable is how, after all these years and through all the trends and the rise of social media, Smorgasburg remains a vital force in the small business landscape, a market that's both exceptionally popular with food tourists from all over the world and firmly committed to creating community right here at home."
"Every year a new batch of vendors enters the Smorgasburg lineup, joining the stalwarts, injecting fresh energy, and giving us a snapshot of what's going on in New York City food right now."
Smorgasburg, the country's largest open-air food market, begins its 16th season with locations in Williamsburg, Prospect Park, and Manhattan, featuring nearly 75 vendors through October, including more than 20 new participants. Co-founder Eric Demby emphasizes the market's significance beyond food tourism, highlighting how it creates community and celebrates Brooklyn's diversity. The market remains a vital force in the small business landscape while adapting to trends and social media evolution. Each season introduces fresh vendors alongside established ones, providing a current snapshot of New York City's food culture and culinary innovation.
