As the weather warms up, more and more outdoor activities are returning. Spring also means April showers, however, and with rain predicted for the weekend you should put on your favorite rainboots and celebrate the warmer days by checking out the events below.

Smorgasburg

Smorgasburg, deemed “the Woodstock of eating” by the New York Times, is back for its second week of the year. The event hosts over 75 vendors, selling everything from ramen burgers to beet ketchup. Grab a quick coffee and a doughnut from Dough or stay a few hours to enjoy a great view of the skyline. On Saturdays, Smorgasburg is held on the Williamsburg waterfront and on Sundays at Brooklyn Bridge’s Pier 5.

Food Book Fair

Celebrating its fourth year, the Food Book Fair is a three-day festival that brings together more than 50 acclaimed authors, chefs, restaurateurs, and more to celebrate the intersection of food and writing. The festival will feature stimulating discussions, including “Food in Visual Culture”; a history of cookbooks; and a debate about labeling food products. Tickets are being sold by the day or for the entire weekend, and the cost will cover events as well as food. The festival will be held at the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

NYC Comedy Week

NYC Comedy Week lasts from April 6 to 19 and offers 2-for-1 tickets. Take a friend along and catch one or more of the dozens of shows throughout the week.
