Smorgasburg, Williamsburg waterfront, Sunday afternoon
It's a sunny Sunday at Smorgasburg on the Williamsburg waterfront. I've been walking around the market for over an hour and I still haven't tried everything. There are more than a hundred vendors selling food from every corner of the world.
A woman at the Thai stall has been cooking pad thai since six in the morning. She's been running this stand for eight years. 'I've been perfecting my recipe the whole time,' she tells me. The noodles are incredible.
My friend Lucia has been waiting in line for the ramen burger for twenty minutes. People have been lining up for it all day. 'It's been the most popular item since this market started,' a vendor nearby tells us.
By three o'clock, I've been eating nonstop for three hours. We sit on the waterfront and look at the Manhattan skyline. 'I've been living in New York for a year,' Lucia says, 'and I've been coming here almost every weekend. I never get tired of it.'
