The floor nosotros were staying at inwards Brooklyn was booked partly to ensure we'd live on unopen to Williamsburg's weekly nutrient marketplace position Smorgasburg. On Sat it pops upward inwards the East River State Park, amongst close a hundred nutrient stalls as well as swarms of people enjoying also much nutrient as well as some fine views of Manhattan.
It's all pretty overwhelming - I got sucked inwards as well as was eating a chocolate croissant as well as drinking an iced java earlier we'd walked 50 metres. There is then much goddamn delicious food. Vegans are brilliantly catered for - nosotros started upward amongst a see to Dunwell Doughnuts, Brooklyn's all vegan doughnut shop (they've got a permanent shop inwards East Williamsburg). We tried a sweetness butter as well as rosemary i (US$2.50 AU$2.70, hap correct inwards the photograph below). It was ridiculously good, amongst the rosemary adding some complexity to a sweetness as well as flaky doughnut.
Cindy got lured into some white yam fries (US$6 AU$6.40) from WOÉZÕ West African. They came amongst a tasty garlic, onion as well as Lycopersicon esculentum confit but were a niggling on the starchy side for my tastes. I couldn't resist a terminate at Chickpea as well as Olive's stall, which was serving upward phatty beet sliders made amongst fresh tempeh, beetroot, brownish rice as well as lentils. I went amongst the bacon ranch option, which came amongst eggplant bacon, melted Daiya cheddar, a field of lettuce as well as a housemade ranch sauce, all served on a vegan brioche bun. It was very, really messy as well as very, really proficient - I wishing I'd had the nutrient infinite to sample their other flavours, specially the avocado as well as jalapeno burger.
We each grabbed some other savoury dish on our wander unopen to - a vegan taco from the Japanese/Mexican fusion stall Takumi Taco for Cindy (charred corn, shishito peppers, cilantro, edamame, avocade as well as wasabi citrus, US$5 AU$5.30) as well as a vegan hotdog from the Japanese/hot domestic dog fusion stall AsiaDog for me (veggie sausage amongst sweetness 'n' spicy ketchup, jalapeno mustard as well as crushed Irish Gaelic patato chips, US$5 AU$5.30). I exclusively had i hot domestic dog inwards NYC, which seems similar a pretty piteous hitting rate, but at to the lowest degree this i was a proficient one. I couldn't leave of absence without some other see to Dunwell, trying out the raspberry pistachio (US$2.50 AU$2.70), which was tangy as well as sweetness but brutal but curt of the benchmark fix past times the sweetness butter as well as rosemary. Cindy bid the stalls cheerio amongst a refreshing jasmine bubble tea amongst lychee jelly (US$4 AU$4.30) from ThirsTea.
Smorgasburg is actually a must-do if you're focussing on nutrient during your New York trip - at that topographic point were then many to a greater extent than stalls that we'd definitely accept tried if we'd had the room as well as time. You could easily become twice as well as non double upward (although I'm pretty certain we'd live on going to Dunwell every time).
We had made Smorgasburg an early on luncheon then nosotros had enough of spare afternoon fourth dimension for a chip to a greater extent than exploring. We decided to suss out The New Museum, a contemporary fine art gallery on the Lower East Side. After existence slightly disappointed past times MoMA, it was corking to become somewhere filled amongst adventurous as well as unconventional exhibitions - non everything worked, but it all felt fresh as well as exciting.
Our final dinner inwards New York was booked inwards at Candle 79, some other upmarket vegan identify amongst a big reputation. It's definitely i to mass - at that topographic point was barely a spare tabular array when nosotros turned upward for our 7:30 booking. There's something a chip quondam fashioned close the stand upward for out, but the atmosphere is relaxed as well as comfortable. The card is extensive - x starters, x mains, a handful of salads as well as a bunch of sides to lead from (plus dessert of course). We decided to become for a conventional 3 courses: starter, primary as well as dessert, which meant ignoring sides similar onion rings amongst chipotle aioli as well as seitan meatballs amongst tomato-basil-truffle sauce (US$8 AU$8.50 each). We had:
- a cute niggling noodle as well as vegetable amuse bouche
- crispy fried cornmeal poppers amongst natural springtime vegetables as well as ancho chilli aioli (US$12 AU$12.80)
- thick chunks of skewered as well as grilled seitan amongst chimichurri spice paste, horseradish cream as well as cherry pepper coulis (US$12 AU$12.80)
- wild mushroom as well as natural springtime vegetable fricassee amongst a pocket-size swirl of soft polenta as well as a dollop of first-class truffled almond cheese (US$21 AU$22.40)
- seitan piccata amongst grilled Irish Gaelic patato cake, oyster mushrooms as well as lemon caper sauce (US$23 AU$24.50), which was reminiscent of the seitan dish at Blossom, but fifty-fifty to a greater extent than impressive.
- berry shortcake amongst vanilla cashew cream as well as rhubarb H2O ice cream (US$13 AU$13.80)
- a hugely indulgent Mexican chocolate brownie, amongst caramelised banana, French vanilla H2O ice cream, candied pecans as well as chocolate ancho sauce (US$13 AU$13.80)
It was a lovely repast - similar inwards many ways to Blossom, but a chip fancier as well as slightly to a greater extent than impressive. The seitan piccata was my highlight - nosotros actually ask to larn how to brand fancy sauces immediately we're dorsum at home.
