Spotlight on Brooklyn Flea Markets

metro-flea-issue-051109.jpgBrooklyn’s flea market boom makes the cover of the free Metro newspaper today. “Following the success of the Brooklyn Flea last year, the borough will be teeming with new markets this summer. Developers found a low-cost way to utilize empty lots, vendors have cheap spots to showcase their wares and consumers are learning how to haggle again.” It’ll be interesting to see how many fleas the market will bear. There’s not an infinite supply of good vendors after all.
