What are you doing this weekend? Any plans? Here's a suggestion. Smorgasburg LA! This first started in New York, and it has spread to Los Angeles! Treats from all over LA gather in one spot! It is locate in DTLA every Sunday from 10am to 4pm. There is a parking structure next to the market if you follow the sign and it's free! The sun gets really hot and the lines also get really long after 11:30, so plan accordingly!
Lobsterdamus
We tried a couple places because we can only eat so much! We tried the lobster nachos from Lobsterdamus, and it was pretty good.
Tacos
We didn't try any tacos when we went (was not in a taco mood), but there are a lot of good taco places including macheen, little llama, goa tacos ,etc. Those would definitely be the places I want to try next time!
Desserts
So many dessert places, including a lot of ice cream/gelato places, perfect for a sunny hot day! We got the brulee donut from Donut Friend, and it was pretty damn good. Custard in the middle and crispy burnt sugar on top, and surprisingly, not too sweet at all!
Hot Star
It is a Taiwanese Chicken place! One of the most popular fried chicken in Taiwan night market has expanded to LA, and to smorgasburg! They are known for there big fried chicken steak, but I did not want to get full from this because there are so many other things to try! So, I got some popcorn chicken instead. One of the best popcorn chicken I have had, very crispy but not greasy at all.
Workaholic
This place has the longest line and it is probably due to its creative presentation of the food. The flying noodle! They used two long toothpick to create this flying noodle illusion, which is super cute. It also tastes very good.
Hong Kong Style Waffle
This is one of my favorite Hong Kong snacks. It is not as good as the one I had in Hong Kong, but this would do until I go back!
Stand Coffee
This is the only coffee place at the market, so I guess I would have to get coffee here. There are not a lot of options, but the coffee is decent.
Ice cream
There are a lot of ice cream places, including Jenny's (I had that before, and it was SOOOO good)! I wanted to try something new, and I was attracted to this one because of its stumptown coffee flavor. Not the best ice cream I have had, but pretty good. I would have gone for Jenny's next time though.
It was slightly hot that day to be in an outdoor market, but it was definitely a nice market to try different things out. Also, it is located in DTLA, and you can definitely walk around, go to museums after food! Sounds like a nice Sunday, eh?
