Look, here's the thing about Smorgasburg — It's this massive weekend food market at East River State Park in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and it's either food paradise or tourist hell depending on when you show up. 90+ vendors doing everything from Korean BBQ tacos to artisanal ice cream sandwiches, but timing is everything.

You absolutely have to get there before 1pm or you'll be standing in lines for 45 minutes just to order a $12 sandwich. After 1pm it turns into a complete zoo — Think Coachella but for ramen burgers. Get there at 11am opening and you can actually walk around without getting trampled.

Must-tries: Olmsted fried chicken sandwich ($12) — Crispy as hell and worth the hype. The famous ramen burger ($15) which honestly is more Instagram than flavor but whatever. Skip the fancy ice cream lines and go straight to whatever dessert vendor has the shortest wait — They're all overpriced anyway.

Getting there: L train to Bedford Avenue, then it's a 10-minute walk through hipster central to East River State Park. Runs April through November, Saturdays 11am-6pm. Entry is $5 weekends (free weekdays). Bring cash — Half these vendors still think it's 1995. Budget $40-50 total if you want to try multiple things without going broke.
