Brooklyn, NY – Last night, Smorgasburg x Laphroaig Single Malt Scotch Whisky teamed up to celebrate the Scottish tradition of Burns Night with a first-of-its kind event: SmorgasBurns.
At Brooklyn’s Weylin, over 300 New Yorkers came together for an evening of delicious scotch cocktails, Burns Night traditions, and unique fare from 8 of Smorgasburg’s most popular vendors (Pop Pasta, BonaBona, Home Frites, Lumpia Shack, Destination Dumplings, D’Abruzzo, Chickpea & Olive and Butter & Scotch), who created savory and sweet Scottish-twists on their famous dishes (full menu can be seen here).
