Smorgasburg takes place from April 3 through October 30 at a few locations in New York City, but not all vendors are there every day, so take note if you’re looking for a particular option.

The New York metro area event brings together around 70 vendors and attracts thousands of diners willing to brave the line to eat in New York’s summer heat and humidity. Smorgasburg, a play on the Swedish word “smörgåsbord”, which means a buffet of bites to eat, is the “self-proclaimed largest outdoor food market in America”. If you prefer to try a wide range of dishes in one place, pop into Smorgasburg to try all the vegan options.

That being said, sampling the cuisines of the city usually means you’ll be spending a lot of time on the subway or on a bus. If you have a worldly palate and know where to look, New York City is brimming with vegan cuisine to please you, from metal plates of Nepalese thali to Ethiopian spicy vegetables and legumes served over injera.
