The only day the sun wasn’t shining was the day I was visiting Smorgasburg in Brooklyn. Smorgasburg is a foodie market and a definite must-see, if you’re visiting New York. On Saturdays, Smorgasburg is at the Williamsburg Waterfront, and on Sundays, it’s in Prospect Park (they just moved there) from April to November.
I didn’t have breakfast, because I wanted to be able to sample all of that tasty food, but I left the apartment a little late, and as I got off the train, I was starving.
When I saw Samurai Mama on Grand Street, there was nothing I could do, but to give in and step inside. At Samurai Mama, the udon noodles are made freshly on a daily basis, and they have this perfect, slightly bouncy, slightly chewy, texture. The broth is fish-based and very, very delicious, and there wasn’t a single drop left in the bowl, when I was done.
“Oops”, I thought, “wonder if I’ll be able to eat anything for the rest of the day?” but I know myself, and I know my appetite (it’s like the Godzilla of appetites), so I figured, I would get hungry again in due time to try some of the food at Smorgasburg. I didn’t. Udon noodles is solid stuff, and after having circulated the marketplace 3 times without the slightest craving for anything, I gave up and went down to the water to take some pictures instead.
