I think one of my top passions in life is eating. I mean don't you ever just want to lay in bed and cozy up next to a nice bad girl sub from Ram's Deli Plus (a Fordham 2:00 a.m. drunken hot spot) while listening to Shania Twain on repeat? This is a common occurrence in my life and I highly recommend trying it.
When we first arrived to the Smorgasburg, we were greeted by our friend in the photo above. I have eaten some questionable meats in my life, but I was not ready to try his barbecue. After this entrance, I was skeptical about what the day had in store for us, but still excited to have a treat yo' self day with my bestie.
The Brooklyn Smorgasburg is truly heaven for those looking to indulge some delicious food. Natalie was trying to be a healthy girl this day and it made me feel uncomfortable because I was looking to stuff my face.
She ate a salad wrap, which literally felt like betrayal. Who goes to a food market and says let me get a salad wrap? I can't help but think that Natalie may be the only person who says,"oooh I am craving a nice wrap made up nothing but some sad soggy leaves with a touch of sadness." This trip turned into a real life episode of Veggie Tales (Natalie was of course the talking cucumber).
While Natalie went for the healthy option, I decided to buy truffle fries with an avocado dipping sauce. My reaction to eating the fries was basically just reoccurring "mhmmmmm" sounds after each bite, followed by Natalie rubbing my tummy while we laid in the shade. It was truly pure bliss.
I highly recommend visiting the Brooklyn Smorgasburg, however check the weather before you do. I am essentially the spokesperson for all sweaty people around the world and this is NOT the best summer activity especially when its 95 degrees out. It was so hot that it got to the point where I began to whisper sweet nothings to all the food items I passed. I thought to myself, "I'm gonna get ya, I'm gonna eat ya."
I really appreciate the fun and trendy tip jars that the stands had made. After working at D&J Refreshments for the past seven years of my life, I understand the struggle of getting customers to tip. I have gotten some absurd requests from customers that I felt obligated to fulfil because 50 cents was on the line. For instance, a mother asked me if it would be possible for me to watch her children and feed them while she ran an errand. This resulted in a $5.00 tip as well as some throw up on my shirt from the youngest child.
I ended the day with a sweet treat from people's popsicles.This was supposed to be a cute picture that mirrored one of those that could be found on some basic girl's instagram, however as I stare more and more at this, I am realising that this could be uncomfortable for many. You're welcome.
In conclusion, we came, we ate, we conquered. Be sure to check out Natalie's post about our time at the Smorgasburg and remember to check back soon for our posts about Coney Island!
Sincerely,
Stephen
