    Fresh Coconut
    Alisa B.

    Very well organized and not over crowded with lines on a Friday afternoon! This was a great experience. There was so much variety and you could eat your food in the air conditioned Oculus. Some highlights were the fresh coconut juice and So Sarap chicken skewers! Even on a scorching hot day in NYC, this was an enjoyable food market to check out. I wish they had more dessert options though!

    Smorgasburg- WTC MAO BAO- 5/5. You can mix and match 6 for $12. The choices are between pork, chicken, lamb, beef, and they have an impossible one called the "impossibao". All the flavors are diff colors so it's aesthetically pleasing. I personally liked all of them but I think my favorite one was the beef. And they have 2 diff sauces you can pour over them too. Delicious. BONA BONA ICE CREAM- 5/5. You get a cup of ice cream for $7. The have flavors like cookie dough, vanilla, animal crackers etc and I think it rotates each day. We picked the key lime flavor. Whatever flavor you pick, they top it off toasted meringue and an upside down ice cream cone too..no extra charge thank god. Delicious flavor and so good to end our meal with on a hot summer day. PALENQUE- 4/5 stars. We got the "Choripan" for $10 which is a chorIzo chimicchhri sandwhich. The bread was good, toasted and sweet. The chorizo was flavorful too, not too "hot-dog" like. And I liked the chimichurri which kept it from being super dry. It's basically a 6 inch ling sand which. They have a coconut lemonade for $5 I wanna try next time. NADAS EMPANADAS- 2.5/5 stars. They have a lot of different flavors and I think it rotates. The empanadas are bright colors and even their box and tent is colorful so it's all very esthetic and eye catching. I liked all the flavors we got but they were just okay, nothing I loved. The proportion of filling wasn't enough to me, in each empanada I tasted more of the outer dough. I'm glad it wasn't oily like a regular empanada though. D'ABRUZZO- 2/5 stars. You get 5 skewers for $12. We mixed and matched, did 3 chicken and 2 lamb. It was okay but too dry and not enough meat in my opinion. They have a spicy seasoning you can add.

    Season Poutine from Duck Season

    This was my first smorgasburg experience and I can't wait to check out the other ones in Jersey and Brooklyn! It was a gorgeous Friday and the location is super easy to get to via MTA. There were tons of vendors to choose from and despite how crowded it was, the lines moved efficiently and I was able to enjoy a lot of different foods. We got the season poutine from Duck Season, tried all the flavors of dumplings from Mao's Bao, the crawfish mac n cheese from Parish Poboys, and the nuggets from Rooster Boy. Everything was delicious and unique in their own ways but the dumplings were by far my favorite - especially the pork and chicken/corn flavors. I highly recommend this event, it's such a fun food atmosphere that's perfect for any foodie.

    Smorgasborg!  Please come on Thursdays!

    So many options! Love love the smorgasborg and so happy it's back. Too bad idea only at the oculus on Fridays.

    We came across this place accidentally while heading to the memorial. And what a nice accident it was. The first thing we noticed were the dozens of people sitting on the side, smiling, enjoying a variety of food. Dumplings, pizza, ice cream and tacos. The vendors were nicely spread apart, there was enough space to avoid over crowding. We tried the dumplings and OMG they were delicious. Smorgasburg is a wonderful idea, it just works as an outside variety of foods and cultures.

    What a lucky find! We had some family visiting and they wanted to check out the World Trade Center museum. I met them for lunch on (conveniently) a Friday afternoon which is when smorgasburg is open! We tried a lot of different foods and had a really nice afternoon. It's smaller than the original one and I'm not sure if the vendors are the same each week, but everything we had was great. I definitely recommend it if you are in the area on Friday's in the summer!

    Smorgasburg, WTC, every Friday from 11am to 7pm until October 25. Rsin or shine. A great lunch option for local workers and tourists. The hardest part is deciding which food stall to purchase from. Prices are the same as the other Smorgasburgs, high but some of it is worth it. Patience is a virtue since some lines are doubly long during the lunch hour crush. Be careful because some vendors have one line for payment and another for pickup. If you can, visit outside the normal lunch time hours. Recently they added new vendors; jerk chicken, pizza cups, Japanese corn and shaved ice. You could also get fresh tacos, po boys, lobster rolls, ice cream, wood-fire pizza, burgers, dumplings, fries, fried chicken pieces, lamb skewers, chocolate cakes, wagu beef and more. Seating available at a few scatter tables, cement blocks and in the shade of the Oculus. Public bathrooms inside the Oculus.

    Cool place to go if you want to be outside with friends to eat lunch. There aren't tables but you can sit on the benches along the side of the Oculus which is the mall/transit center next to it. The Ovulus building looks like a white bird. They have a large variety of vendor tents to choose your eats from. You must be willing to wait in line for your grub. They have everything from empanadas to Philly Cheesesteaks to fresh juices. I found the drinks to be lacking which was a little annoying. I got a cheesesteak and after waiting in a long line, I had to get in another long line to get a bottle of water. Definitely a fun thing to experience though! At the end is a fantastic beer garden to enjoy before or after your adventure!

    Duck poutine,

    It's finally back to the wtc!! I love walking the block to see the different food vendors. There are some I don't see anymore due to prepandemic times. But some that are new. There's huge portions for a reasonable price that matches their cost, but at least not the restaurants prices. Busy lines at times but their food is worth it.

    Same as Smorgasburg WTC?

    There's more vendors at the other locations. WTC has less vendors compared to the other locations because of the space.

    RIP Urban Hawker…read more Though if you wanted to recreate that part in movie plots where the protagonist we all thought had veered into untimely demise surprises everyone by miraculously making a comeback--I'm down for that too! Though on a serious note--kinda bummed bc I wanted to make one last visit before they closed July 17, though unfortunately I didn't make it back to town in time :( What a loss of a cultural connection point for the city! Food is a gateway to experiencing and understanding other cultures and this location was front and center in midtown, blocks from Times Square. In a sea of other cuisines, this part of Southeast Asia didn't/doesn't have much representation in general in Manhattan, and even less so now. Scouring articles and comments online I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they're able to find a different space in the near future! Was it the best food court? I'll admit this was easily debatable for many reasons. But each stall had their own standouts. Tradsiyon was a later addition though had really solid braised meat and veggie bowls; Hainan Jones stepped into a midtown scene several years ago with no other similar Hainanese chicken spots in midtown (a few others thankfully are around today); Kopifellas brought uniquely Singaporean/Malasian tea and coffee options; I still remember the first bite of Prawnaholic's signature shrimp and rib noodles tasting that savory goodness for the first time; and most of all I will dearly miss this location of Lady Wong, where I rarely walked away empty handed. Thank you for the memories (and think about that movie plot twist I mentioned above)!

    I think I grieved more for Urban Hawker closing than when my dad died…read more Urban Hawker wasn't successful in the way you'd expect any food hall to be successful-- their food wasn't spectacular. I rarely went home invoking a strong enthusiastic response to come back to eat something again. Their strong suite was location, space, and variety. What I loved most--besides having a reliable bathroom in Midtown--was what it became for the people around it. It was a place where office workers could decompress after work, grab a beer with coworkers, or catch up with friends they hadn't seen in a while. There was something refreshing about the atmosphere. People seemed relaxed and unguarded, shedding the polished professional persona they'd worn all day. It felt like watching the city exhale for a little while. And another thing I appreciated was their attempt to represent different nationalities under one roof. The more common items performed the worse and that's probably when you come to a space dedicated to hawker style cuisine, you expect to try some of their more novel stuff like Coffee Pork Fried Rice (from a stall that specialized in fried rice) or Noodles in Bechamel. I also frequently enjoyed their only drinks provider for the best Yuen Yang I've ever had. The method for making them seems theatrical at first but when you've had one that wasn't properly aerated, you truly taste the chalky bitter tannins. It was a good thing there was an experience worker there (possibly the owner). Who you got to make your drink was hit or miss because at varying times, my gf would be lucky enough to run into the one guy who could do it with oatmilk (she's lactose intolerant). It's sad to see this place go and there'll be many times ahead of us where we point out that that's where the Urban Hawker used to be.

Figured I'd check it out for dinner since they showcase so many good eats. The space operates just like a Food Hall where there are a variety of food stalls to purchase from and you sit in a general seating area (center of the indoor space). Some outdoor seating but it is not covered. I spotted a French bistro and bar, BBQ, Thai, Vegan and burgers' spot just to make a few. Each stall offering unique food options and independent of one another so there's no competition. Something for everyone. Really well maintained, tables are frequently cleaned and each place offers a buzzer so you're alerted when the food is ready. There's even a photo booth and a backyard type garden space once you get to the back of the space. That outdoor oasis is great for groups, not covered (no roof, just open seating) but offers mood lighting and bright decor. Music plays overhead in both spaces, on speakers and there are several TV's featuring sports channels and food videos inside the hall. This visit I tried the BBQ stall (think smokey brisket and mac and cheese) and hubby got Thai food (Pad Thai with shrimp). Both were great choices and reasonably priced overall. Daily lunch specials throughout at $14 a pop, per the advertisement on the front door area. Casual chic is how I would describe the place. Great air conditioning and great for groups of all sizes. High top seating, standard tables and booths available. Very comfortable and a nice foodie spot overall. We were never rushed and I saw folks just enjoying a night out. Totally recommend.
