Smorgasburg is sooo much fun, but definitely pricy! It's worth going with a big group of friends,…read moreso you all buy things and share it family style. The assortment of vendors is great but imo nowhere near the one in brooklyn, wtc, queens etc (it's hard getting people to jersey unfortunately :( ). I think what brings smorgasburg JC to a 4 star is the views and scenery! It is located near the harborside, and on a warm day it's nice to take a walk and look at the water. Also the seating area, smorgasbar is verrry nice and serves great drinks (mango marg). They have some games like lifesize jenga and plenty of seating. Also a plus is smorgasburg's proximity to the PATH/exchange place, it is 1 block away. I notice that as fall draws near, the amount of vendors do decrease. So keep in mind if you visit nearing October!

So much food! Smorgasburg never disappoints. My in-laws were in town so we brought them here for…read moretheir first experience. It was unbelievably hot but they made it through! After rounds of brisket, lobster rolls, and rice balls, we made a beeline for oatmeal vanilla fudge ice cream sandwiches! My absolute favorite. We did a good job for 3 hours. Next weekend we'll attack some of the ones we couldn't get to this time!

I can't believe that I've never reviewed Wafels and Dinges. There was a time that I was so obsessed…read morethat I owned the employee shirt, and always knew where the different food trucks were located every time I entered Manhattan - back when they roved around daily. I recently had it for the first time in a couple of years and was so happy that it continues to live up to the incredible hype. This is the best dessert, hands-down, you can have in Manhattan. My go to is the Liège waffle with strawberries, speculoos, and fudge, and it is out of this world. Nothing quite hits the spot that it hits, and yesterday I was so happy to see that years later it remains out of this world.

On Christmas Eve, my cousin and I caught the Waffles & Dinges truck and decided to indulge--and I'm…read moreso glad we did. She got the S'mores waffle, and I went with the WMD, and honestly... both were so good. The smell alone was irresistible. It was the perfect sweet treat for the holiday. My WMD was loaded just right--fudge, whipped cream, bananas, and strawberries--everything you want, nothing missing. Her S'mores waffle had the whipped cream, graham cracker, and chocolate, and it was just as good. We were both very, very happy. It hit that perfect balance of warm, sweet, comforting, and indulgent without being too much. Exactly what you want when you're treating yourself. If you see the Waffles & Dinges truck, go to the truck. Don't think about it--just get you something delicious.

Oh my goshness, oh yes - downtown Jersey City now has its own version of the halal cart on 53rd…read moreStreet and 6th Avenue. Well, the menu is not as extensive as the 53rd Street cart but what it lacks in variety it makes up in good taste and value. I always order the chicken over rice, which is, of course, shredded chicken served over rice, with a side of salad. You can have white sauce put on top of the food, or you can have BBQ sauce too. Hell, you don't even need to put any sauce and the food will still be delicious. And for $6.00 an order, you get a whole lotta food. They also serve different soups, such as chicken with chili, lobster bisque, and others. But with the good weather coming, the amount of soups will most certainly dwindle. But during fall and winter, there are about 5 different types of soups served. I always get there around 12:30 because if you go at 12 noon, the line can be 15 people deep. Yes, this cart is that popular. And these boys are friendly too: one takes the order and puts the rice and salad in the styrofoam container, the next guy puts the chicken and seasoning over the rice, and the last guy takes the cash and any soda orders. Easy peasy, nice and easy.

10/10 If you're…read morevisiting New York, this place is an absolute must try! I ordered the Chicken Platter, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The platter comes with perfectly seasoned chicken over rice, along with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. I got the famous white sauce and hot sauce on the side so I could add as much as I wanted, and both took the dish to the next level. The chicken was flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the rice. The portion was generous and incredibly filling, making it an excellent value. Everything tasted fresh, and I honestly enjoyed every bite. That said, it was so good I could probably eat two platters! The line was long, but don't let that discourage you it moved steadily and was absolutely worth the wait. Whether you're a local or just visiting NYC, this is one of those iconic spots you have to experience at least once. it!

I have worked at 6th/50th st for over 25 years and the Halal Guys location near 53rd and 6th is a…read moreshort walk. I have eaten here at least 200 times over those 25 years. I don't go as much as I use to, as the price has more than doubled since 2017/18. However, that has nothing to do with my rating. My problem is that meats have gone downhill. I used to love gyro meat - never sure what it was exactly lamb or beef - but now it is just gross and greasy. The chicken which used to be excellent is now very dry. The white sauce is great and the rice is fine, but that is it. Not worth getting anymore. Maybe one of their competitors is better, can't really be worse.

It was fun to stroll through the market and check out the local bakeries and businesses in the area. Everyone we spoke to was so charming and friendly - something you don't always find!

Probably the only "cool" market in NJ. And by that I mean, hip...urban...you won't find "junk" here…read morelike you would at markets south of Newark. No offense to markets south of Newark. Everything from the marketing to the location is prime. The variety is also pretty good. I just wish they had more in terms of volume. I went in August as a vendor and then visited in September. I liked the layout more the first time. It could be because people generally aren't fond of sequels...or because all the drinks and food were on one side. Last time you could get lemonade without going to the food side. I think that was a +. It made it seem like there was more to eat and drink. Illusion is an asset. I will probably visit again in October. It's a great place for businesses without a permanent location to sell goods and get their name out there. You meet a lot of interesting people when you vend. And come across the best plantains in the galaxy. Also, parking isn't bad at all.

Pretty solid poutine, was $17, and to be honest, thats pretty cheap considering the rest of the prices at Smorgs. Duck Bacon was delicious and cooked nice and crisp. Only complaint would be I wish the curds were just a little more melted, but thats pretty preferential on how you like your poutine. Would definitely suggest if you stop by the trucks!
