Flea to Expand to Seaport With Smorgasbar
The Brooklyn Flea’s Smorgasbar is coming to Manhattan’s South Street Seaport this summer. Food and drink will be available at 40 tables outside on Front Street. The developer of the Sandy-ravaged area, the Howard Hughes Corp., invited the Flea, which can put together an operation and attract lots of people quickly, Flea partner Eric Demby told Gothamist. The outpost will be open daily through October. It will stay open until 10:30 pm on weekends. This is not the Flea’s first Manhattan venture. It also has a pop-up shop in Whole Foods Market on the Bowery and runs the concessions at Central Park SummerStage.

The Brooklyn Flea Is Expanding to Philly
Five years after launching in a Fort Greene schoolyard, the Brooklyn Flea, which currently operates four outdoor markets in its home borough every weekend, will add a fifth weekly market to its roster when it opens in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia this summer. While the idea for an expansion to Philly has been brewing for quite a while (remember Brownstoner Philly?), plans for this particular location only started taking shape earlier this year when real estate developer and New York Observer owner Jared Kushner bought the Piazza at Schmidts, a mixed-use complex featuring over 400 residential units and 100,000 square feet of commercial space, and set his sights on building on the existing cultural program in the 80,000-square-foot central European-style cobblestone plaza. “It’s the perfect place for us to try our first geographic expansion,” said Flea co-founder Jonathan Butler (aka Mr. B) in Philly Magazine yesterday. Expect a similar mix of antiques, vintage clothing, handmade goods and, yes, food at Brooklyn Flea Philly. As many as 20 percent of the vendors will be current Flea vendors who have made a name for themselves in Brooklyn. The kickoff date is set for June 2. Location details and vendor sign-up information can be found on the Brooklyn Flea website.

Brooklyn Flea Moving Next Door to East River State Park
After spending the last two seasons at The Edge on the Williamsburg waterfront, the Brooklyn Flea will be moving its Saturday food market known as Smorgasburg as well as its Sunday flea market one block north to the East River State Park this Spring. The Flea will be setting up shop in the southeastern corner of the park at North 7th Street and Kent Avenue on an old concrete slab that’s approximately the same size as its former location at The Edge and its flagship spot in Fort Greene. “We are thrilled to welcome the Flea to East River State Park,” said State Parks Commissioner Rose Harvey in a press release earlier today.”Already fast becoming a centerpiece of the community, this addition will draw even more people and add to what we fully expect will be a spring and summer full of exciting, community-oriented events and programs at this park.” The weekly line-up will remain the same: Smorgasburg on Saturdays and the Flea on Sundays. (The Flea will continue on Saturdays in Fort Greene and Smorgasburg on Sundays in the Tobacco Warehouse in Brooklyn Bridge Park.) “Staying on the Williamsburg waterfront in this vibrant community is a big priority for us, and we love that the markets will now support one of New York’s truly great parks,” said Jonathan Butler aka Mr. B. “And who can argue with that view!”
