Spend Your Saturday at Smorgasburg

Memorial Day Weekend marks the official start of summer — that means, the days of outdoor restaurants, rooftop bars, and open-air food flea markets are upon us! A staple among New Yorkers and Long Islanders alike is Brooklyn's famous Smorgasburg. The food festival features almost 100 vendors that sell mind-blowingly delicious treats. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the vendors you’ve just GOT to try this weekend!

Baked Cheese Haus:

These Wisconsin cheese fiends have brought raclette to Brooklyn! Whats raclette you ask? A block of cheese is melted on a heated stand and then scraped onto Baked Cheese Haus' signature subs — toasted baguettes with cured ham, cornichons, and green onions.

Burrito Juarez:

These Juárez natives joined forces to serve the same Mexican burritos found in their hometown. — Spoiler Alert: They put Chipotle to shame. The wheat tortillas are made fresh to order and layered with your choice of fillings. Choose from refried beans, organic chicken or brisket, fresh chile sauce, and more.

Destination Dumplings:

Indulge in fresh and crispy pan-fried dumplings inspired by flavors from all over the world. Queens natives, Tristan Chin-Fatt and Andrew Steinberg, were influenced by their culturally diverse heritages — Chinese-Jamaican and African American-Jewish, respectively.

John’s Juice

Using a super fancy imported Japanese machine, John's Juice instantly blends juices inside their skins. The result is a delicious juice in a waste-free receptacle — did we mention they make for awesome Instagram pictures!?

Pop Pasta:

Two words: Spaghetti Donut — What more do you need to know? Similar to a traditional Italian spaghetti pie, strands of spaghetti are molded into donut form and baked until crispy and delicious. Choose from red sauce, aglio e olio, or carbonara style.

Dynasty Limousine’s 2017 Broadway Roundup

The 2017 Tony Award nominees were announced yesterday during a live webcast from The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. Which nominee for Best Musical do you think is the front-runner? Read on for a full list of nominees:

• “Come From Away”: “Come From Away” details the selfless hospitality provided by the residents of Newfoundland, Canada, following the morning of September 11, 2001. Residents provided asylum to 6,700 passengers whose flights were diverted in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks on New York City. This musical is free of political satire and reminds the audience of a time when the nation stood united as one. A welcome sentiment in today’s harsh political climate.

  A post shared by Come From Away the Musical (@wecomefromaway) on Apr 14, 2017 at 11:04am PDT

• “Dear Evan Hansen”: Are you a fan of the Netflix Original, 13 Reasons Why? Then you’re sure to be mesmerized by “Dear Evan Hansen.” This angsty musical follows the lives of high school students dealing with the death of their classmate — a boy who was considered to be the “class freak.” The beautiful songs touch on loss, grief, self-delusion, and finding your tribe among other things.

  A post shared by Dear Evan Hansen (@dearevanhansen) on Apr 20, 2017 at 9:31am PDT

• “Groundhog Day”: Bill Murray must be so proud! “Groundhog Day” is a musical adaptation of the 1993 film of the same name. Irritable city weatherman Phil Conners is stuck in small-town America, forced to relive the same monotonous day, over and over again —  until he meets Rita Hanson!

  A post shared by Groundhog Day Broadway (@groundhogdaybwy) on Apr 15, 2017 at 11:04am PDT

• “Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812”: Josh Groban? Yes, please! Also known simply as “Great Comet,” this musical starring the multi-platinum recording artist as Pierre, has received high praise. A beautiful young woman, Natasha, finds herself in a compromising situation with a man who is not her fiancé — then she meets Pierre. A man full of love and compassion for her.

  A post shared by The Great Comet (@greatcometbway) on Feb 9, 2017 at 8:07am PST

Do you think anyone was left off the list for Best Musical? We’d love to hear from you on our Facebook page! A complete list of nominations in all categories can be found at TonyAwards.com.
