Food and Art and Hipsters in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York, New York
Williamsburg is one of the few areas in New York City that I have always wanted to visit but never seem to get around to. In fact, I had several plans to go, which were disrupted by a minor surgery and other things that kept popping up. Since I鈥檒l be leaving NYC in 5 weeks, I figured it鈥檚 now or never.
We started our day at聽Artists and Fleas, which is an indoor market place. It could best be described as Etsy exploding聽in a warehouse, which is kind of a dream come true. There were tons of vintage boutiques, but what I really enjoyed were the 鈥渁rtists.鈥� Think handmade dream catchers, soap, jewelry, phone cases, etc. Everything had a one-of-a-kind feel; making it very charming.

Smorgasburg聽is like a flea market for food. There are roughly聽50 tents set up from local restaurants and bakeries聽that sell small plates of food. The items range from ramen burgers to meatballs, but I opted for poke. Usually, I have a strict rule about not eating raw fish served outside in a tent, but it looked really fresh. So, I chanced it. I鈥檓 proud to say that I did not get sick. I also got a 鈥渞aindrop cake鈥� which has been trending on Facebook for months. The 鈥渃ake鈥� tastes of nothing but water and kind of melts in your mouth. It鈥檚 the toppings that give it flavor. Although a cool experience, I thought it was highly overrated and definitely not worth the $8 price. Gary snagged a few donuts from Dough, which is one of our regular stops. I鈥檇 highly recommend the hibiscus donuts. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
