Brooklyn Flea Week 4 on Sunday!
We can’t seem to buy any sunshine at The Flea, but there’s a ton of things you can buy from the 175-odd vendors who set up every weekend in the 40,000-square-foot school yard at the Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in Fort Greene. Last weekend saw the arrival of a ton of new furniture dealers…
We can’t seem to buy any sunshine at The Flea, but there’s a ton of things you can buy from the 175-odd vendors who set up every weekend in the 40,000-square-foot school yard at the Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in Fort Greene. Last weekend saw the arrival of a ton of new furniture dealers (see above); this weekend there’s a whole ‘nuther wave of vendors (including A&J 20th Century Design, formerly of Lafayette Street in Manhattan!). For more details check out
yesterday’s post on the Brooklyn Flea blog. The market is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at 176 Lafayette Avenue. Closet trains are the C and G to Washington/Clinton. Or you can take any of the number of trains that go to Atlantic Station and make the 10-minute stroll up Lafayette Avenue from there.
UPDATE: Despite the morning rain, about 80% of the vendors are set up and open for business today. Come check it out!
I think it is just common knowledge that people who love dogs are generally good, happy people and those who dislike them are generally repressed, odd, and/or nasty folks.
Even people who are allergic but sane, do not begrudge the happiness that others derive from their pooches or kitties.
I believe that if you don’t like dogs or cats, you’re more than likely not a very nice person. that’s it. i have fond it a good indicator of the goodness of a person.
NO DOGS …GET OVER IT!
what happened to the nice people guarding the gates, on the left and right side of the flea? i really liked them for their courtesy and kindness(he offered to watch my dog the weekend before last, while i looked around). he was a dark haired guy w/an earring and she was a blonde and looked like they were quite in love.
very good people.
we need more of them.
“you people with dogs are sick. just because you love them, does not mean we all need to.
stores don’t allow dogs and you shop there.
so why would you EXPECT that some place should allow them?
absurd.
go to hell. all of you”
So much anger … It’s nastyness like this that partly explains why people often love their pets more than people. I run errands with my dog, if stores/banks don’t allow them in, I respect their policy because plenty of businesses do allow them in. No reason to leave fido at home if business owners are ok with it.
I found the flea to be quite well attended given the rainy start, cold weather and dready day.
With 20,000 people attending each Flea, I can’t even BEGIN to imagine what it’s going to be like on a nice, sunny day (which has YET TO HAPPEN!!!).
Congrats for making this Flea such a gigantic success. All my friends in Manhattan are talking about it!!!
Was this the last Brooklyn Flea? I noticed that it was not that well attended, and the “umph” seemed to be gone.
As stated above, it’s a school policy regarding the dogs. We realize it’s inconvenient for some, but we don’t have a say in the matter.
i love that no dogs are allowed.
people who think they are entitled to bring them are disgusting.
speaking of, i have the most beautiful garden out front that i JUST planted last week and walked out this morning to a dog owner just standing there while his dog sat and took a shit in the middle of the garden.
you people with dogs are sick. just because you love them, does not mean we all need to.
stores don’t allow dogs and you shop there.
so why would you EXPECT that some place should allow them?
absurd.
go to hell. all of you.
It has been stated several times that the reason for the no dog policy is that the flea market is the athletic track and recreation area for the school. The school, sensibly enough, does not want the kids running and falling in dog poo and urine.
If I were a vendor, I wouldn’t want Fido nosing and marking on my stuff either. As lovable and well behaved as your pooch is, its still a dog, and will do doggy things. Leave them home.
