16 of the most delicious things you can eat at Smorgasburg, New York City's massive open-air food market

Smorgasburg, the open-air food hall phenomenon that takes place outside in Brooklyn every April to September (and indoors elsewhere throughout the rest of the year), has turned a small stretch of Williamsburg waterfront into a hot foodie scene.

It's launched trends like the ramen burger, and has been called the "Woodstock of Eating" by The New York Times. It originally launched as a spin-off of the popular Brooklyn Flea in 2011. 

Now in its fifth year of culinary exploration, Smorgasburg just opened for the season with over 100 food vendors, 25 of which are brand new. Vendors were selected from hundreds of applicants who vied for the coveted chance to sell their creations to the estimated 10,000 visitors who drop by the event each year.

The event has been so successful, in fact, that organizers recently announced that Smorgasburg will be coming to Upstate New York and Los Angeles later this spring. 

From stalls selling gelatinous "raindrop cake" to quail eggs on a stick, these are the creative offerings turning heads this spring.
