Gosh today feels like its been five days rolled into one -- half marathon in Brooklyn, check! Brunch at Avoce Columbus, check! New York State wine tasting at Union Square Wines, check! Smorgasburg, check!
So what did I have at Avoce? An escarole salad with fresh shaved pecorino and a poached egg topped with oil and vinegar accompanied by roasted cauliflower, slivered almonds, and golden raisins. Delish, fresh, crisp and a satisfying meal after my half marathon race. Always reliably yummy food with a nice atmosphere and a guaranteed treat sort of place.
Union Square Wines features fabulously extensive wine tastings from 2 to 5 on Saturdays and today's was an ode to New York State winemakers and we all know how much of a fan of local purveyors I am, so that was a treat.
You might be wondering however what is Smorgasburg? It is the Brooklyn Flea's food market featuring close to one hundred different food purveyors and artisans -- looking for homemade jams, pickles, teas, cheeses, breads, chocolates and more? It's worth making the trip! This week was the first version of Smorgasburg now happening every Saturday from 9am to 5pm at N6th and the East River in Williamsburg. It's worth the trip, I guarantee you won't meet disappointed.
And that's all for now folks.
