After sixteen years, effects of 9/11 still present

By Sarah Ladd news@kykernel.com

This year, America recognizes the 16th anniversary of 9/11. UK’s new 2017 freshmen were only toddlers when this terrorist attack occurred, but the tragedy continues to impact lives today.

The terrorist attack that occurred on September 11, 2001, seriously hurt the American economy. “Damaged economy” has become a common, yet ignored, term.

People forget that it affects individuals, not just the collective group.

The damage to individuals is very real, according to Associate Professor of Political Science Stephen Voss.

“The damage to the economy hurt the students graduating in those post 9/11 years,” Voss said. “They could not get jobs upon graduating.

Those delays are something that followed them throughout their careers.”

9/11 changed politics as well. Immediately after the attacks, Voss said, students

were much more conservative than they are now. In the years that followed, however, students leaned increasingly toward the liberal political views.

“Students became much more politically aware,” Voss said.

Views of immigration also changed with 9/11.

“Immigration became such a sensitive subject,” Voss said. “Republicans became much more hostile of it, and Democrats became much more supportive.”

This problem has not vanished in the past 16 years.

“We are still operating in the shadow of 9/11 when we debate immigration,” Voss said. “It became a question of national security.”

The United States’ relationship with other nations was greatly affected by the terrorist attack as well.

“Immediately after 9/11, the United States enjoyed widespread sympathy and support, but once foreign policy shifted toward pursuing a War on Terror, the

United States found itself growing increasingly isolated across the globe,” Voss said.

He said public opinion turned against the U.S. in many countries, even those that initially supported U.S. efforts.

“The hostility receded a bit with the election of President Obama, but not permanently,” Voss said. “By 2015, the public in allied countries such as Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom still expressed less favorability toward the United States than they had in 2002.”

On a positive note, Voss said he feels that the national unity immediately after 9/11 is a memory Americans can look back on and learn from.

Even though the patriotism our nation experienced as a result of 9/11 faded, it remains a powerful memory.

“People can remember when our divisions didn’t matter,” Voss said. “People came together, rallied around the flag and showed spirit that we rarely see.”

sentative of campus, which was the motivation behind election reform that took place last year.

“I don’t want us to stop there,” Childress said.

Childress said one of his main roles as president is “being an intermediary between the administration and students and student government.”

However, Childress said, the best way to accurately represent the student body is for him to not be the only student representative in the room.

“It’s impossible to speak for all students,” Childress said, so it’s important for other students to have the ear of administration.

Childress said he and Foster tried to create an executive team that was as diverse as possible politically, religiously and more.

Foster said the all-student survey data also helps SGA make decisions that most help and represent students.

Childress said a goal of his, particularly as a Board of Trustees member, is to make sure UK is accessible to all Kentuckians.

“I firmly believe in the power of higher education, especially the power that the University of Kentucky holds for students—all students,” Childress said.

He said he wants students to see UK as a home.

“I love this university, and I love the people who go here,” Childress said, “and anything I can do in this role to just make their lives or their time here a little bit better is worth it, is what my focus and mission is.”

Friday night, UK hockey opens their season on home ice against Middle Tennessee State University. Schultz, a captain for UK hockey, can’t wait to hear the crowd.

“I think one of the best feelings in the world is when you score on the ice in front of a huge crowd and you can get hype to it,” Schultz said.

UK plays in the American Collegiate Hockey Association, a three-tiered national club hockey league. The top tier, or first division, is home to larger more talented teams.

yearend SEC tournament.

“We have high hopes,” Schultz said. “We are looking like a pretty good team that actually can compete and that’s why we joined the SEC.” As a club sport, UK hockey does not receive funding from the university, so players sacrifice their study and free time without the benefit of scholarships. Schultz grew up and played hockey in Cleveland, but said he came to UK specifically for his major—not to play hockey. “[Hockey] wasn’t my main focus. My main focus was school,” Schultz said. “But I’m happy it’s here.”

Despite the general lack of hockey interest in Kentucky, the hockey team has consistently been one of the most well-attended sports among UK students.

“Game night—it’s pretty crazy,” said Nick Quammen, another UK hockey captain.

“We average about 200 fans at least. For the Louisville games and some of the other big games we’ll get about 500 plus in here. Really rowdy, really loud, but we love it as the players.”

Last year during rivalry games, late-arriving fans were turned away because the ice center reached full capacity before puck drop.

“When it’s midnight on a Friday or Saturday night, college students don’t have a ton else to do,” said Quammen, a materials engineering junior.

“If we had them at seven or eight, I don’t know how many people would come out.”

Quammen said the attendance at their away games— including their annual game at Louisville—does not come close to the large, boisterous crowds they attract at home.

Schultz said the unique physicality and speed of the sport drives many UK students to the midnight games.

“It’s so different from sports in Kentucky and not many people know the rules of hockey,” Schultz said.

“But they still come just because of the atmosphere— just because it’s a physical game.”

Clint Ison was UK hockey’s general manager for six years and this year begins his tenure as the new head coach.

Ison was around when, in 1986, the Lexington Ice Center got new ownership.

“But they weren’t too big on hockey—thought it was too violent,” Ison said. “So, they pushed it to midnight and thought it would kind of fade away.”

The switch to midnight had the opposite effect, and the club hockey team became a student favorite.

“I know for a long time they called it the ‘Trifecta,’” Ison said. “You’d go to Keeneland during the day, a football game in the evening and then come to a hockey game that night.”

The puck drops on Friday, Sept. 15, at 11:55 at the Lexington Ice Center. Tickets are $7.

Kroger Field is not as bad a name as it sounds KELSEY MATTINGLY Assistant Opinions Editor

The uproar that rang throughout the Big Blue Nation came fast and furious upon the early May announcement that Commonwealth Stadium was getting a new name.

After the University of Kentucky gave the naming rights of their football stadium to JMI Sports in a 2014 agreement, the rumors started swirling on what new moniker would grace the front of Fall’s favorite facility.

After several bids, the powers that be chose the name that would benefit the university the most financially, thus giving us Kroger Field. From this deal, the university will receive $1.85 million annually for 12 years.

The name, regardless of the financial benefits that came with it, did not receive the most positive reviews from Kentucky fans. Jokes, disses and genuine disdain surround-

ed Kroger Field with shouts of “not my stadium” coming from across the Bluegrass.

What it seems, however, is that folks don’t realize things could have been much, much worse.

For starters, there are other big name businesses who very easily could have gotten in on this deal. Fans would not have responded to “Walmart Stadium” as well as Kroger Field.

At the very least, Kroger is the ninth largest employer in the area, meaning there are bound to be loads of Kentucky fans who benefit from their employment.

And just down the street from campus rests recently renovated Euclid Kroger, fulfiller of sushi cravings and last-minute Starbucks stops.

There is not a single student on campus who hasn’t benefitted from Kroger’s exceptional deals and easy accessibility. Can you imagine having Kentucky’s football stadium named after something like Trader Joe’s or Lucky’s? Kroger is always the way to go.

Kentucky is also the first school in the SEC to sell cor-

porate naming rights to its football stadium, putting the university ahead of a growing trend in their conference.

While they weren’t as quick to sell their souls as little brother, Louisville, they held out long enough to find reasonable benefit that will help fund campus renovations.

In the grand scheme of things, acknowledging that Kentucky Football now plays their games at Kroger Field rather than Commonwealth Stadium is a difficult, but small pill to swallow.

Does it kind of sound like we have a team of soccer moms rolling on the field in minivans ready to bake up some cakes? Certainly. Does it give us the opportunity to improve our entire campus?

Absolutely.

So even though it feels like you will be seated in the bread aisle or sushi suite, remember it is only a name. The chills you get when we all come together for “My Old Kentucky Home” and “It’s football time in the bluegrass!” is something “Kroger Field” will never take away.

Room for improvement on campus diversity SIERRA HATFIELD Kernel Columnist

On Sept. 1, a naturalization ceremony took place in Louisville where over 100 people from across the world pledged allegiance to our country and received their certificates of citizenship. With so much diversity in the room, it was easy to be reminded of the importance of inclusion on UK’s campus and beyond.

As young professionals, students should make an effort to be aware of the benefits of diversity and promote it wherever possible. While it’s easy to think of diversity as just race, it encompasses much more: age, experience, economic situation and even ideas.

In fact, one of the best aspects about diversity is its ability to introduce different perspectives on an issue.

When taking everyone’s ideas into account, especial-

ly those influenced by different cultural experiences, the chances of finding the best possible solution increase thanks to these contributions.

With diversity comes inclusion, because acknowledging the differences isn’t enough. Inclusion efforts can allow everyone involved to feel validated and important to the situation at hand.

As young professionals, students should make an effort to be aware of the benefits of diversity and promote it wherever possible.

When inclusion is promoted in the classroom for example, students can avoid causing one another to feel disengaged or irrelevant.

Feeling valued improves not only morale, but also communication and understanding. These are crucial elements to possess in a classroom or the workplace for a healthy learning environment.

From a purely business-oriented standpoint, being able to communicate effectively in a globalized world economy and understand cultural differences in these interactions is a big advantage in a corporate setting.

But even if a student is not considering a career in international relations, these are skills that can set students apart in the ever-diversifying communities of America.

UK does a fantastic job at representing our diverse campus community, but there is always room for improvement. The Student Government Association has big plans this academic year to foster trust and communication among minority student groups and university administration.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS: YEAR 2

By Rick Childress

news@kykernel.com

In light of a recent federal lawsuit filed against UK by a student and the current status of UK’s case against the Kernel, experts say the UK community could be at risk.

Frank LoMonte, the former executive of the Student Press Law Center, warns that students could be in danger while UK’s suit with the Kernel is being decided.

“It’s a good bet that there are employees walking around your campus right now who’ve been accused of multiple acts of serious wrongdoing that the university covered up,” LoMonte said. “The only way of knowing is for the university to come clean about the public records its been hiding.”

As the Kernel’s case has worked its way through the courts, a student filed a new lawsuit against UK questioning the university’s handling of sexual assault investigations.

A woman, listed as Jane Doe, said, in her suit against UK, that she was raped twice by two different students during the 2016 school year and, she alleges, that university officials did not protect her from her assailant or provide her with measures to safely pursue her academic studies.

The lawsuit said that Jane Doe suffered socially and academically as a result of sexual assault and the mishandling of her case by university officials. She said that even after the investigation began, she was retaliated against by members of the assailant’s fraternity and was once followed home by her assailant.

Nadia Almasalkhi, an officer with the UK Feminist Alliance said the Title IX office should have been faster and should not have allowed contact between a victim and their assailant.

“I’m sure paperwork moves slowly, but student’s lives

don’t,” Almasalkhi said.

Meanwhile, Kentucky’s Court of Appeals will decide in the coming months if UK is justified in withholding documents related to a different controversial university sexual assault investigation.

Paidin Dermody, the Kernel’s current editor-in-chief, said UK’s withholding of documents hurts past and future victims of sexual misconduct in public institutions.

“The ongoing lawsuit diminishes the dignity of the victims, which they deserve to have fully restored,” Dermody said. “It also endangers innocent individuals destined to cross the paths of these perpetrators, who’s continued existence is legitimized within the university environs by the enabling behavior of those same institutions.”

Almasalkhi agreed.

“The people who are really in danger are the future students and the future classmates of the assailants,” Almasalkhi said. “Under the way this university is acting now, someone could request information about an assailant and be denied that information.”

Throughout the case, UK spokesman Jay Blanton has maintained the university’s opinion that a release of the documents may reveal the identities of the case’s victim-survivors.

It’s a good bet that there are employees walking around your campus right now who’ve been accused of multiple acts of serious wrongdoing that the university covered up.

FRANK LoMONTE LoMonte is suspicious of the contents of the withheld documents.

“UK is really out there on a very extreme limb by itself in clinging to the secrecy of these documents,” LoMonte said. “[A]nd you have to ask yourself what President Capilouto knows has been going on inside his administration that he is so determined for the public

never to find out.”

UK’s ongoing lawsuit with the Kernel and the attorney general is entering its next chapter. The Fayette circuit court ruled against the Kernel in January, and against the attorney general in August. The Kernel and Attorney General Andy Beshear both vowed to appeal.

That’s where the case sits now—locked in the appeal process after two decisions in favor of the university.

The events that led to Beshear and the Kernel’s cases began in March 2016, when a spokesman for two female graduate students approached the Kernel stating that the students’ adviser, James Harwood, had sexually assaulted them and was under university investigation.

The students were unhappy because their alleged assaulter would be allowed to resign before a public hearing would occur—effectively allowing him to leave UK without the sexual misconduct charges following him.

The Kernel published a story in April 2016 detailing an agreement reached between

UK and associate professor Harwood. The next day, the Kernel filed an open records request for more documents on UK’s investigation of Harwood but the university refused to give up the documents.

The Kernel appealed to Beshear’s office. In Kentucky, the attorney general has the power to decide if documents should be made public. In this instance of sexual misconduct, the Kernel and the victims felt that the investigation of Harwood should be made public, but with the redaction of names or any information that would allow for the victims to be identified—common journalistic practice. The attorney general agreed.

UK again refused to give up the documents, and decided to appeal Beshear’s decision. To appeal, UK sued the Kernel in circuit court. Beshear intervened by opening suit against UK. Meanwhile, the Kernel obtained the full investigation from a confidential source, and began printing details from the investigation. A development that, according to a January NPR piece, worried the victims.

Leading up to the circuit court hearing, the victims filed on the side of UK. They cited growing concerns that continued Kernel coverage would soon lead to the exposure of their identities.

The law firm representing the victims had a previous history of working with UK, according to Tom Miller, the Kernel’s attorney.

Before the Fayette circuit court, UK argued that the documents could not be released because they were protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. FERPA would call for the documents to be protected, but only if the documents were student records.

In January, the court ruled in favor of UK. The court

found that, even with identifiers redacted, a public release of the documents would identify the victims. The Kernel vowed to appeal.

Last month, a circuit court judge ruled against Beshear.

A Lexington Herald-Leader report said the court found the documents were indeed protected by FERPA and Beshear would not be allowed to review the documents for public release. Beshear vowed to appeal.

Miller said the Kernel’s legal team has filed its briefs— or written arguments, and is now waiting on other organizations to file on the side of the Kernel. Miller expects multiple press organizations to join the Kernel’s side.

After those organizations file, UK will begin to file their briefs. Miller said it is possible that the victims in the sexual assault investigation may file on the side of the university just as they did in circuit court.

Once both sides have filed, the court will decide if oral arguments are necessary. If they are not, the court will come to a resolution based on the arguments that have been filed.

“We should have a resolution in the Court of Appeals within a year,” Miller said.

“But UK has made clear that if they lose, they will file a motion for discretionary review with the Kentucky Supreme Court.”

The attorney general’s case is not as far along. Last month, Beshear’s office gave their notice of appeal—the first step in the appeals process. “[T]he very existence and effectiveness of Kentucky’s Open Records Law is in jeopardy,” Beshear said in a recent interview with the Kernel. “[UK]’s approach creates a silver bullet where any state agency that doesn’t want to provide a document can simply claim a Federal privacy law.”

With so much talent for UK men’s basketball, who is supposed to start? five for the Cats.

By Kernel Sports Staff sports@kykernel.com

It’s a pleasant problem to have: too many talented and athletic players have been recruited to the UK men’s basketball team to showcase their abilities for fans and NBA scouts. Now, head coach John Calipari and his staff must decide who to grant the honor of becoming a starter for the forward-heavy team.

While fans will likely see several different starting lineups during the season, the Kernel sports staff gave their best shots at a likely starting

Point guard Quade Green. This is the easiest choice on the list, as he’s the only point guard on the list recruited as a starter. Last year’s big three: Malik Monk, De’Aaron Fox and Bam Adebayo, all believed that Green would be the player to watch during the upcoming season, and with good reason. If there’s one position that Calipari knows how to recruit, it’s the point guard.

Shooting guard Hamidou Diallo. The 6-5 com-

bo guard is one of the more experienced players on the team after practicing with the squad during the second semester of the 201617 season. He’s spent half a season practicing in Calipari’s system and will be expected to be a leader from the beginning, despite having never played a game for UK. Small Forward PJ Washington. Calipari has a problem he hasn’t had at UK yet: an abundance of talented wing players.

Currently in the NBA, there are two consistent starters at either wing po-

sition that hail from UK, and now, the Cats have four talented players standing between 6-8 and 6-9. He’s the heaviest of the wings at UK, listed at 237 pounds in Cairo for Team USA. In Cairo he lead the team of young stars in scoring, and is expected to fill a similar role at UK.

Power Forward Wenyen Gabriel. The short answer to this is that Calipari needs a sophomore on the floor at all times to have an “experienced” player helping his younger teammates.

Wenyen is expected to be much bet-

ter at spacing the floor this year, as well as working the post. He’ll create a problem for any traditional big man in the four spot.

Center Nick Richards. The 6-11 center is the tallest player on the team, and has already been projected to enter the NBA draft before he’s even suited up in the blue and white. The 17th overall recruit in the ESPN 100 is poised for a great year, and there’s no reason he shouldn’t get the starting nod at center once the season gets rolling.

Lorenzen has the tools to achieve goals in the Jared Lorenzen Project

By Chris Leach sports@kykernel.com

Former UK quarterback Jared Lorenzen has overcome challenges most of his life.

The main challenge Lorenzen has faced is his weight issue. However, that didn’t slow him down from setting nine individual school records during his time at UK. Lorenzen’s weight didn’t deter him from making it to the NFL either, where he played four seasons with the New York Giants. However, Lorenzen was mostly used as a backup quarterback who could never out perform the slimmer, more-athletic quarterbacks.

Lorenzen’s NFL career ended in 2008 when the Indianapolis Colts released him before the start of the season.

That was also the last time that Lorenzen stepped on a scale before launching The Jared Lorenzen Project.

Before the project, Loren-

zen discovered he weighed over 500 pounds after stepping on a scale for the first time in years. This was one of many factors that led him to making a life-changing decision.

“Right now, if I didn’t wake up tomorrow it wouldn’t be a shock to me,” Lorenzen said in a video released on July 28 on Facebook.

Lorenzen’s Project is a mission to lose weight after battling obesity most of his life.

The Project will be based on NowLetsGetFit’s website, which will allow followers to stay informed on Lorenzen’s weight loss.

Lorenzen will also have many advantages and benefits along the way to help him accomplish his weight loss goal.

West Coast Customs has built Lorenzen a specialized mobile gym to make it easier for Lorenzen to get his workouts in. Lorenzen plans on taking his mobile gym with him to various communities throughout Kentucky, en-

couraging people to workout alongside him.

Lorenzen will also have a team of high-profile nutritionists and trainers helping him lose weight along the way including Philip Goglia and Gunnar Peterson.

Peterson will be Lorenzen’s trainer during the quarterback’s mission to lose weight.

Peterson has been a personal trainer for over 20 years and trains various celebrities and professional athletes.

“I’m lucky, truly I’m really lucky to have the team that I have kind of surrounding me right now,” Lorenzen said in the video. “With Gunnar and his expertise, Goglia and his expertise, it’s a big deal.”

Lorenzen will also have the support of the community on his journey to a healthier lifestyle. The Jared Lorenzen Project Facebook page has over 16,500 followers, and a GoFundMe page setup by the project has raised over $500 dollars since the project

launched.

Lorenzen also plans on keeping the community involved by going on organized walks. Lorenzen will be in different communities throughout the project, so starting on Sept. 6, Lorenzen will be hosting a community walk every Wednesday in whichever area he happens to be in.

“What I want is to have everyone out there just moving, whether it’s walking around the community, whether it’s walking around the neighborhood, whether you’re just in your house,” Lorenzen said in a recent Facebook post on the Project’s page. “Look if it’s raining, even if it’s just in your house, lets just get out

here and lets just get this thing going.”

Lorenzen will likely have many guests on these walks, as many fans have supported Lorenzen’s cause on the Facebook page. Lorenzen’s journey from 500 pounds to a healthy lifestyle will be difficult, but he’s got the resources and support to make it happen.

Benny Snell rushes for the Kentucky touchdown during the game against South Carolina on Sept. 24, 2016, in Lexington, Kentucky.

Trip to South Carolina may be more difficult than some think

By Chris Leach sports@kykernel.com

UK Football is just two games into their 2017 schedule, and they are already preparing for a Southeastern Conference opponent.

UK’s next challenger is the South Carolina Gamecocks, who will be playing their home-opener when they host the Cats on Sept. 16.

South Carolina has already announced this game will be a blackout.

The hype for this game has grown as the football season goes on, but one of the biggest storylines surrounding this game for UK is keeping their win streak over the Gamecocks alive.

Out of all SEC opponents over the last three year’s, the Cats have had the most success against South Carolina, as they have won the last three meetings. Because of the streak, many feel that the Cats have a chance to leave Columbia with a win, but history shows that South Carolina has the advantage.

Yes, the Cats have won the past three meetings with South Carolina, but all those games were decided by a touchdown or less. Two of those games took place in Lexington, where the Cats had home advantage.

Before 2015, the Cats have lost the last seven games in Columbia. Before UK’s three game win streak the Cats had

actually lost the last eight of nine games in both Lexington and Columbia.

The last time the Cats defeated the Gamecocks in South Carolina was in 1999, when the 3-2 Cats defeated a 0-5 South Carolina team by 20.

The last time UK defeated South Carolina when the Gamecocks had a winning record in Columbia was in 1993. Overall the Cats are 4-8-1 when they play at South Carolina.

On top of the struggles that come with playing in South Carolina, the Cats have also struggled in SEC-opening games.

In the last 15 SEC-openers, the Cats have lost 12 of those game. Take for granted that 10 of those SEC-openers were against Florida, who the Cats haven’t beaten since 1986, but the Cats typically struggle with the increase in aggressiveness that SEC opponents bring.

Another advantage in South Carolina’s corner is they have already played an SEC opponent in Missouri.

Recently history favors the Cats in this game, but overall history says the Cats will face tough odds when they travel to South Carolina. If they can get the win however, that should set themselves up nicely when they look to end another lengthy streak the following week against Florida.

In the 21st century we are living in, it’s impossible to go anywhere without seeing someone on their cell phone. Family dinners have turned into conference calls, checking emails and status updates, while social gatherings have become platforms for sharing Snapchat videos and pictures.

College students are not exempt from this trend and may be the biggest contributors. However, instead of simply using cell phones for social media and distracting games, college students can download a variety of apps to enhance their college experience.

Amazon Prime Amazon’s free six month student trial allows students to use their university email to have all the perks of Prime, including free two day shipping.

For students without a car, they can take advantage of the program to buy essentials. When the trial runs out students can use their email to get a full year of Amazon Prime for half of the original cost which is $100.

Not only does the Canvas app send reminders about assignments, it also will send notifications when new files are posted, professors make announcements and when assignments are graded. Using the app ensures students will get valuable information faster than if they were to just log into Canvas on a computer.

Pocket Points Pocket Points is an incentive program designed to help students resist the urge to look at their phone by rewarding them when they stay off their phone during class. Pocket Points rewards students with coupons to restaurants and other relators nearby when they have earned enough points.

After four months in my apartment, I still had maintenance issues that were supposed to have been repaired prior to my moving in. After a while, I had filled out 2 maintenance requests and stopped into my property’s office, and still found nothing to be accomplished.

I love my apartment, don’t get me wrong, and it wasn’t too much that needed fixing, but sometimes communicating with landlords, subleases or property groups can be a daunting task.

If the texts about your leaky ceiling or calls about broken AC aren’t getting

through to your landlord, consider sending a written request to them. Your lease may specify that they require “written notice,” and those frantic texts might not count.

I always like to stop into the office and conduct business face-to-face.

Keep a record of important dates concerning your home.

By recording when you first notice an issue, leave a message or request maintenance, you are actively documenting the extent of the repair process. Photos serve as supplemental data in your personal records.

Knowing your rights as a tenant of an apartment or house is especially useful.

Your landlord is required to fix any problem deemed essential to your health and safety.

If your problems progress and your landlord does not

respond to your request(s), you have options within your legal rights afforded to you.

You can chose to alert your local health or building inspector, sue your landlord in small claims court, or in the most extreme of cases, break your lease for breach of lease contracts.

Is there anything that you just should not do when dealing with a lousy landlord? Yes. Avoid withholding rent until the problem is fixed, as that is grounds for eviction.

Remember to always remain kind and professional when communicating with your landlord and know the terms of your lease in detail. Here’s to hoping your apartment issues finally get resolved.

Donut miss out on Smorgasburg in NYC CATHERINE HEREDIA Kernel Blog Writer

Smorgasburg is an openair food market in Brooklyn, New York, where over 100 different vendors sell unique and delicious food from all over the world.

Like a food festival, this market takes places in two New York locations from April to October between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.

On Saturdays, Smorgasburg can be found along the East River in Williamsburg.

On Sundays, the market takes place in the beautiful Prospect Park.

The famous Ramen Burg-

er and the new Spaghetti Donut are must-haves.

Instead of a burger bun, cooked ramen noodles serve as the bun for the Ramen Burger. This burger lives up to the hype with its delicious flavoring.

The Spaghetti Donut from Pasta Pop features cooked spaghetti in the form of a donut. There are even different flavors such as Mac & Cheese, Red Sauce and Carbonara.

For dessert, the Churro Ice Cream Sandwich and the Raindrop Cake are your best options. Dulcinea Churros, one of the vendors, serves crispy churro sandwiches stuffed with different flavors of ice cream.

The Churro Ice Cream Sandwich is a crowd favorite. You can’t go wrong with

the sweet combination of ice cream and churros.

The Raindrop Cake is a Japanese jelly dessert that resembles a suspended water drop.

Within walking distance from the Brooklyn Bridge, Smorgasburg provides a live atmosphere filled with one-of-a-kind food. This market is a fun way to spend a Saturday or Sunday in the city while satisfying any food cravings.

Be sure to bring cash in case some vendors do not accept credit cards.

Step away from the mainstream chaos of Manhattan and treat yourself to the trendiest food New York has to offer.
