"This year's incoming class features 22 newcomers, and nearly half are immigrant-founded or built on family recipes. Smorgasburg CEO and owner Gaston Becherano called the vendors "the heartbeat of this market," framing the event as a launchpad for small operators looking to test and grow their concepts in front of hungry crowds."
"The fresh faces run the spectrum from icy desserts to serious live-fire grilling. Bingsoo will dish out Korean shaved ice, Chenzi will turn out chewy Fuzhounese potato dumplings from a multigenerational recipe, and Kolachi Rolls is bringing Karachi-style paratha wraps to the fold."
"Veteran heavy hitters are back to hold down the fort. Longtime staples like Red Hook Lobster Pound, Raclette Street, Mao's Bao and Yakitori Tatsu will share tent space with the newcomers, keeping the mix of classic and experimental that regulars expect."
Smorgasburg, Brooklyn's open-air food market, launches its 16th season on April 4 at Marsha P. Johnson State Park in Williamsburg and April 5 at Prospect Park's Breeze Hill, running weekly through October from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The event features 74 vendors total, with 22 new additions nearly half of which are immigrant-founded or based on family recipes. New vendors include Bingsoo offering Korean shaved ice, Chenzi serving Fuzhounese potato dumplings, and Kolachi Rolls providing Karachi-style paratha wraps. Returning favorites like Red Hook Lobster Pound, Raclette Street, Mao's Bao, and Yakitori Tatsu maintain the market's blend of classic and experimental offerings.
