Closing Bell: Daily Candy Sweetens The Dumbo Flea

We’re not sleeping with anyone at The Times, though you’d be forgiven for thinking so given the amount of coverage we’ve gotten in the past month. Yesterday, writer Mike Albo wrote up what was probably our favorite article about The Flea yet. It should give the month-old Dumbo Pop-Up market some extra momentum this weekend. Not that it should need it: Daily Candy is setting up its own mega-booth in 81 Front this weekend that will feature carnival games, prizes and interior design ideas. Also spicing up 81 Front this weekend: Bardwell Farm, a 140-year-old producer of small-batch, all-natural cheeses from Vermont, and DJ’s from Dumbo vinyl mecca Halcyon. As usual, we’ll have a full house of antiques and vintage dealers in the original space at 76 Front Street, so get there early for the pick of the litter. Check out the Flea Blog for directions and more info on the various vendors that will be in both spaces. The Dumbo market will be open at 76 and 81 Front Street on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. through March 29; F train to York Street or A/C to High Street.
