| People loving the action at Smorgasburg. |
Smorgasburg is an extremely addictive bad habit that we've picked up this Summer. I say 'bad' Beastie Boys style; not bad meaning 'bad', but 'bad' meaning:'good'. But also meaning bad, as in bad for my thighs. Very, very bad news for the old thighs. But the taste buds, now those guys are happy!
'Let's go to Smorgasburg today' the taste buds pipe up of a Saturday morning. 'Great idea' echoes belly. 'Dear God, no' shudder the thighs. 'Pipe down, Nerd, you're overruled' say the taste buds and belly simultaneously (they are bullies). And with that settled, we head off.
A large outdoor market featuring local and artisan foods, there are a large number of interesting options at Smorgasburg, and they're all good. Slow cooked pork rolls from Porchetta are a big fave, the pizzas made in a mobile pizza oven by Pizza Moto are pretty amazing too.
But it is these that are my weakness, the ultimate diet kryptonite. They are just so freaking good: Dough donuts.

The view at the Waterfront as you eat your snacks ain't too shabby.
The flea market component is also pretty amazing. On Sundays the focus shifts from food, more heavily to flea. There's a vendor who only sells vintage spectacle frames, which is pretty fun. There's lots of vintage leather bags in great condition, and ugly sweaters to wear ironically if you're so inclined.
What I most enjoy is the hand-crafts, there are some beautiful pieces of hand-made wooden furniture and art. I don't know what happens to Smorgasburg when it gets really cold and windy, but we'll be rugging up and going as long as they will.
