Attention foodies! Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood is now home to one of the largest open-air food markets in America.
Smorgasburg, a play on the Swedish “smorgasbord” — meaning a wide array of foods — is making its debut this month in South Florida after gaining popularity in Brooklyn, N.Y. and Los Angeles, Calif.
Smorgasburg Miami, located at 2612 NW Second Ave. will be open on Saturdays from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. and is expected to host 70 food vendors and 10 retail vendors.
The concept is being brought to Wynwood by Gaston Becherano Cohen, owner of Omotenashi Group, a collection of hospitality-driven enterprises that includes Aventura Gardens Market, Bonsai Café and Motorcycle Matcha.
“At its core, Smorgasburg allows vendors to launch their own successful food concept without having to take the risk and undergo the headaches associated with opening up a brick and mortar,” says Becherano Cohen, who spent a year searching for just the right mix of vendors.
He adds, “We are bringing Smorgasburg to Miami to provide the right spotlight and conditions for these vendors to flourish and grow and to build a market that represents the talent and diversity of the South Florida food scene.”
