Smorgasburg.
You'd think a perk of being on the grounds crew at an event like Smorgasburg – there's an abundance of local, organic, artisanal, generally good food – is being fed very well by the vendors. Why are these guys eating Hostess snack cakes?

242 Bedford Avenue, Where a Whole Foods is Coming to Williamsburg.
This afternoon, while I was leering at passers-by from the front window of Oslo coffee of Bedford, an artist behind me said to the barista "It's over." Now, he said, his Eurotrash friends will accept Williamsburg as a destination worth visiting and start frequenting the bars here. As he explained it, they'd previously only consider venturing in Chelsea and the Meatpacking District on the weekends. "First came the models on the corners, then came the bankers chasing the models. It's over when there are models on the corners," he said.
