How To Celebrate Burns Night In NYC

Laphroaig Fetes SmorgasBurns: A Burns Night Traditions Extravaganza

The best part of living in a major city like New York is the opportunity to explore and experience in various cultures and a vibrant mix of world influences. Scottish distillery, Laphroaig celebrated Burns Night by hosting a SmorgasBurns affair at Brooklyn’s iconic landmark institution, The Weylin. Burns Night, which takes place on January 25, is the Scottish tradition of honoring the life of one of Scotland’s famous poet, Robert “Rabbie” Burns.

Dating back from the early 1800s, Burns Night traditions involve a celebration with poetry, song, and a supper featuring traditional Scottish fare. The team at Laphroaig created a one-of-a kind-dining extravaganza incorporating bagpipe music, specialty drinks and pours, poetry readings, and a sampling of dishes by some of Smorgasburg’s popular vendors but with a Scottish twist.

“We live in the country and love having our campfires on a regular basis. So when the item arrived my husband was like a schoolboy with a toy,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “He set it up in two minutes … Gives off great heat. Great size. Clean fire unlike our fire pit where we have to play musical chairs to get away from smoke. A must-buy.”
