New York City has plenty of food markets, but few inspire as much awe and delight as Smorgasburg. The outdoor food market has many, many diehard fans — and now it’s leaving New York City for greener pastures. Well, greener pastures in our eyes, and only temporarily.

That’s right — Smorgasburg is opening up a location in New Jersey that will operate in 2021 and hopefully beyond despite the multiple NYC locations staying on hold due to COVID-19. For now, Jersey City is the new home of the food market.

Still, we’re just so excited to head to Jersey City and peruse Smorgasburg’s various options. Wear loose pants and skip breakfast — you’re gonna need the room!

The market will surely be popular, but it will be a little quieter than past iterations of Smorgasburg. For example, people will buy from vendors in the parking lot but eat in other spaces.

Expect to sample tons of amazing food at Smorgasburg, including favorites from Big Mozz, Biska, Oyster Party, and Wood-Fired Edibles.

The Jersey City location is opening May 29 in a 40,000-square-foot parking lot at 195 Hudson Street, and will run every Saturday until October.

Smorgasburg plans to reopen in its New York City locations as the city lifts COVID-19 restrictions, but food lovers will have the Jersey City location to tide them over until then — and afterward as well.

Smorgasburg started out in Williamsburg, but has spun off locations in Prospect Park, the Financial District, and now… Jersey City.

Smorgasburg is maybe the most popular food market in New York City, with hundreds of unique and amazing food vendors calling the market home.
