Food, Glorious Food

2008/03/14/kumquat cupcakes.jpgLong live the Red Hook ballfields food vendors! Phew.

Like other humans, we love food, want it to be one of the many discoveries for Fleasters. Our little "food court" is growing tastier by the day, and the folks who make prepared or packaged nibbles inside the market will create nice way-stations to fuel your grueling Flea stomp. (We're open to suggestions for naming the food court; submit them as comments, or email flea@brownstoner.com. Nosh Nook? Nibbles?)

Wafels + Dinges is tough to top (whipped cream excepted), but they'll make great partners with new Food Court friends like Choice Market (below), the Clinton Hill cafe whose pastries, scones, baked goods and strong coffee are as good as they come. Frank and Dean of Nikko Catering tracked down Senor Flea, demanded to serve their pulled pork BBQ and chicken sandwiches at his casa, and delivered on their promise of yumminess. Frank and Dean make a vegan BBQ sandwich too, and they'll be doing some sides like cornbread to round out their comfort food stand. We'll have more soon on our new pals Donna and Shauna's all-vegetarian soups, which are made with locally grown ingredients, once they sort out their paperwork with the city. But with their hot and cold soups, Fleasters will be in for a real treat.

Choice.jpgSprinkled throughout the market, we have a strong home team of fooders. The Salvatore Bklyn Ricotta gals have already made a name for themselves with their homestyle fresh cheese, and we're proud to be their weekly public home. Emily from Brown Bag Industries has been baking insane cookies, brownies, and granola for the office where Senora Flea works, and when Senor got a taste we knew we had a culinary start in the making. Her Ooey-Gooey-Nutty-Chewy Brownies are ridiculous. For a little competition in the granola category, the gals launching Three Birds Bakery have a secret recipe that will knock your morning socks off—a must-try.

Park Slope's Justine Pringle has been doing well with her new Nunu Chocolates, made here in Brooklyn, and you can sample her Earl Grey truffles, sea salt caramels, and prosecco bonbons (most of them organic btw) at the Flea every Sunday. Be warned! Keavy from Williamsburg's Kumquat Cupcakery makes some of the prettiest mini-cupcakes you'll ever see (above)—extra bonus, they're delicious too. And Deann from Brooklyn Cookie will be selling her local-pride nibbles alongside Maria Finn of City Dirt, who will have edible plants among her various gardening items. And don't forget about Eddie's sister, who will be baking cupcakes to go with his gorgeous mantels and doors. Enough to keep your entire palette happy!

i think Choice will be there with coffee...and it rocks!

i think it might be cooler to not name it, just let it be something that develops organically, so it doesn't seem prefab or cutesy...just a thought.

ABOUT

Brooklyn Flea takes place every Sunday from 10am to 5pm—rain or shine—at Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, on Lafayette Ave. between Clermont and Vanderbilt Ave. The Flea features 150 vendors of vintage furniture, clothing, collectibles and antiques, as well as new jewelry, art and crafts by local artisans, plus delicious food.
