With the kick-off of Brooklyn Flea just over four months away, we’re happy to announce that we’ve brought Brooklyn Renaissance man Eric Demby on board to curate the retail mix and make sure all the i’s get dotted and t’s get crossed. From 2003 to 2007, Eric served as the speechwriter and communications director for Marty Markowitz, so he’s no stranger to getting things done in the County of Kings. He’s also a foodie, former dj and, as anyone who’s ever attended a press conference at Borough Hall will tell you, a man with a nose for style. (Also a journalist, he recently penned this piece about the upcoming mayoral race for the NY Post.) He can be reached at eric AT brownstoner DOT com.

Along those lines, December’s all about lining up the anchor tenants for the flea market, so we’d be interested to hear your suggestions for some heavyweights in the areas of antiques, home furnishings, records, vintage clothing, etc. Feel free to email Eric directly or make suggestions below.
