Brooklyn Flea: Time Lapse
Thanks to all the vendors and visitors who came out to the inaugural Brooklyn Flea yesterday. By some miracle, it didn’t rain and the day went off without a hitch. While some of them were double-counts to be sure, the security guard at the door clicked off 20,000 entries into the market throughout the day….
Thanks to all the vendors and visitors who came out to the inaugural Brooklyn Flea yesterday. By some miracle, it didn’t rain and the day went off without a hitch. While some of them were double-counts to be sure, the security guard at the door clicked off 20,000 entries into the market throughout the day. Insane. We’ll have more candids up later in the day. If you took photos, please put them up on Flickr and tag with “brooklynflea”; if you a post a big Flickr set, please email us with a link. We also want to hear your feedback about vendor mix and other suggestions. Obviously we need more food; unfortunately dealing with the Department of Health isn’t exactly a simple and transparent process, but we’re working on it. Personally, we want to see more furniture and classic category-killers like antique silver and old watches; maybe a little less new jewelry and arts-and-crafty stuff. This first month will be a gradually tweaking and culling process, so please throw in your two cents.

If it was mentioned in the comments that it was cancelled, and not in the topic section,followed by many people confirming it was still on, why would you believe it? Anyways, you missed out on a great bridge for sale .
If anyone thought Brooklyn Flea was cancelled because of a post in the comments section of Brownstoner, I hate to say it…but you don’t have all your marbles…
I also thought it was canceled. Join the club 2:13.
Food and coffee is a nice touch. Why don’t the local coffee shops set up tables and rake it in. Oh wait, there aren’t really many local coffee shops.
My wife and I wanted to go but we saw it announced here that it had been postponed. What was that about?
Congratulations, Brownstoner. It was really impressive. I did a quick run through there and was surprised. Someone mentioned ebay but there is nothing like the fun of poking through things, though I didn’t have much time yesterday. I’ll check it out again. Somebody else mentioned trash. I live around the corner and I spent a lot of time yesterday picking up trash. I guess it can’t be helped, with all the people but it would be great if the foot traffic would generate the need for some retail on Fulton.
Any retail.
it was not that cold yesterday what a bunch of wimps you are
i worked for my family at the fetes de noel in bryant park in nov and dec that is cold
sounds like a yuppie douchebag fest
onesies for everyone
lame lame lame after all it is brooklyn
Do people REALLY need to be so outraged?
Please get a life.
why do we need choice market on the flea market. the shop is 3 blocks away. that’s a waste of space. nothing against choice, best shop in the hood, but serious, just walk a block and get your coffee there
