On the hottest day that New York has had so far this year, myself and my future suitemates decided to venture into Brooklyn for the famed Smorgasburg. Whether you've seen the infamous ramen burger on instagram, or read the raving review on Time Out, it is very likely that you have heard of this Brooklyn food market.

If you are an indecisive gemini like me, then Smorgasburg is actually quite dangerous. There are so many vendors selling uniquely different food; everything from lobster rolls to vegan kale sandwiches, from ice cream sandwiches to gooey cake, that it is hard to decide what to actually buy. Most vendors sold their items at quite reasonable prices, so much so that you could probably buy a few different dishes from multiple vendors. If you go to Smorgasburg, be wary that there will be a lot of queuing involved, especially for the more famous vendors, which on a hot day can be a bit of a curse.

Once the food was bought, we made our way to the river front of the park that the event was held on. It was such a warm day and it certainly felt like the whole of New York had crept out from hibernation. Sitting on the beach like water front whilst eating our delicious goodies was definitely the recipe for a perfect day. Although, I'm still trying to get the sand out of my shoes!
