Smorgasburg Brings Lobster Nachos And Shawarma Tacos To Brooklyn

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK — Your one-spot-stop for deep-fried cookie dough, cheese pies and lobster nachos — aka Smorgasburg — is back.

The park-friendly food markets will open in Williamsburg on Saturday, March 31, and in Prospect Park on Sunday, April 1, and feature 14 new vendors serving up baleadas, shawarma tacos and fried buffalo pockets.

Exactly 100 vendors will be taking over East River State Park in Williamsburg on March 31 and Breeze Hill in Prospect Park on April 1 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., according to the venue's website.

New Prospect Park vendors include Lobsterdamus — where ’borgers will find whole grilled lobsters served with noodles, lobster truffle fries and lobster nachos — and 504 HN Market, which will serve Honduran baleadas with refried beans, Honduran cheese and cream, and avocado.

New additions to the Williamsburg lineup include Boutros — where you’ll find pork shawarma tacos and bulgur fried rice — and Yoshimoto Fish Company, the place for donburi bowls.

You can find out more about new vendors — where to find them and what they'll serve — below, or by stopping by Smorgasburg the weekend after next.
