Brooklyn Food Festival

Polka-Dot-Button-Down-+-JeansThis was a fun-filled weekend- my good friend from high school came to visit me from Virginia. On Saturday we hopped on the L to go to Smorgasburg. It was my first time this season and I couldn’t wait to sample some of the delicious food there!

East-River-ParkOf course I had to eat some of my favorites, donuts from Dough and hot dogs from Asia Dog. After we’d had our fill of food, we grabbed a bottle of wine and headed to a friend’s apartment nearby.

Pouring-Red-WineThe weather was quite nice, so we took our drinks and headed up to her rooftop. I’m so excited for warmer weather and more afternoons spent enjoying the sun on rooftops.

  1. I like food. I have a feeling this would be something I’d be into. There’s still so many cafe/restaurants/food places in the city that I want to try!

      Yes, Smorgasburg is so great! There are a ton of different food stalls set up, so you can try lots of different foods in one place.

    I love Smorgasburg…I’ve only been to the one in Williamsburg once but my fiance and I frequent the one in Brooklyn Bridge Park since we can walk over there. One of the highlights of the summers in BK. Anyway you look adorable. I love the polka dotted top and the jacket. I came close to buy a jacket like yours from LOFT.

      The Williamsburg one is just one stop on the L for me, so that’s the one I usually go to :) I agree- I’m so it’s started up again this season.

      Thanks Heather- I actually was at LOFT on Sunday and I think I saw the jacket you’re talking about!

      It was so nice to sit outside and enjoy the weather on her rooftop. I don’t have access to a rooftop in my building so I’ll definitely have to take advantage of hers again :)

  17. Aw, fun! That reminds me of the Taste of Chicago, it’s a huge outdoor food festival the city puts on every summer. I went one year and it was mad crowded but a cool experience. Chicagoans have some very adventuous culinary inclinations. ;)

      That sounds like something I would enjoy too! I need to visit Chicago again- I haven’t been since I was a kid.
