On Sunday November 6, I attended the Smorgasburg festival in Brooklyn, Ny. When I first arrived i felt the environment as packed and a bit stuffy, however i also felt the wonderful essence from all the different kinds of food. It was overwhelming at first considering the fact that this was my first time attending, yet i had no idea what item to eat first. I first took a look around before i decided to buy anything. I remember as i walked i saw how much diversity this exact festival had to offer, and it was amazing. It had been a great experience watching all the different nationalities brought together by food. As i continued walking i came across a little table not too far from the entrance. It was decorated in beautiful Asian patterning. The drapes behind the table tied in nicely with the aroma of a fresh fruit smell. This presentation immediately caught my eye, so i knew i had to stop and see what this mysterious table had to offer. I take a look inside this small booth and i see a small Asian Woman with a sweet smile. I had complimented her on her decorations and she smiled back. As i kept looking around i see these small apple looking plates. I asked the woman what it was and she said “Apple KImchi”. First bite into this and it had a sweet yet spicy taste, however while chewing the sweetness from the apple kicks in adding a flavorful blend. As of result i enjoyed it so much i ended up buying two pieces.
As the festival came to an end, i realized all that i missed out on over the years. This whole time living in this city and had no idea of this festival. This was by far an excellent idea to come and experience great food. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to spend a day exploring new things, come to Smorgasburg and enjoy some great food.
