Smorgasbord at the World Trade Center is an outdoor food court. Apart from some food vendors that are different most of the foods are similar to the ones that recently were at The Shed and Union Square Night Market. This is held every Friday throughout the summer months till the end of October. Today I went for the second time this year and ate the Indonesian beef and chicken skewers. The chicken was tender and tasty with the sweet & sour sauce but the beef was tough and I left most of it. Ariane gave me a discount for the two as she recognized me from the other two venues. Then I had a taco from Carlotta’s of New Jersey that was averag in taste.

Balanced. The ají is nice, a bit spicier than most I encountered in Colombia but welcome spiciness that doesn't overpower and just compliments...
Read moreI stopped by this past Friday since I worked in the area, and I absolutely loved it. I normally go to the festival in Prospect Park on Sundays, being that they have more vendors to choose from. A lot of the vendors at this location, with the exception of a few, are at other locations, so there really aren't too many other options. The prices of the food can get quiet costly depending on what and how much you are getting. Since this festival is right near the WTC, the area gets very crowded, especially during lunchtime, so I suggest going earlier. Overall, I definitely recommend those working in the area or visiting NYC as a tourist to come check out this food venue as they have different cuisines to...
