Where's My Scooter!?

Vespa.jpg
Senor was out of town much of this week, apologies for the dearth of updates this week.

Just a quick note about a couple special vendors this week.

Fine%20and%20Raw.jpgThe folks who recently opened the Vespa Brooklyn shop on Park Ave. and Vanderbilt on the Navy Yard side of the BQE will be selling fuel-efficient, fun, and fabulous scooters at the Flea this Sunday, and hopefully for much of the fall. There's no doubt that gas prices have nudged more bikes, walkers, and pedicabs onto the NYC streets, and if you're gonna go gassy, a scooter is the eco-friendly way to go. Can we talk fashionable, retro, and straight-up snazzy? Yes, we can. Check out the Portofino Green LXV 150 (above). Ciao prego! W1

Back at home in BK, Daniel Sklaar's Fine + Raw Chocolate (right) is back at the Flea after a super-sunny day cut short his debut. His raw chocolate is yummy and intriguing to talk about. (Sweetie Justine's Nunu Chocolates are equally convo-worthy of course.) Fine + Raw ain't got no sugar, no dairy, no nuttin' really, just pure uncooked goodness. Taste it, you'll see. First your tastebuds take notice, then your mouth starts yappin' about it to everyone you know. E8

Comments

Today was my first visit to the Brooklyn Flea. I brought my neighbor, who's a chocolate maker who does street fairs, so she and Justine talked shop. Great chocolate. We picked up only a few little things, like pickles. Overall, we had a terrific time. I'll be back.
