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!
3G Kicks will be back May 18. In the meanwhile, take a look at our flickr set and let me know what you’d like for May 18..

It was stated from the very beginning that the school would benefit from having the Flea there. They need the money, and are a worthy cause. The overwhelming majority of the students are on scholarships, and are members of various minority groups. Supporting the school is helping to get our future generations out of poverty, and providing them with a good education.
What can be wrong with that?
I’m pretty sure it’s private land owned by the Catholic School. Different kind of friends in high places!
Brownstoner’s put in and is putting in a lot of work to make this happen. They should make some money.
Anyone even remotely surprised to learn of Brownstoner’s extraordinary pecuniary interest in this event?
Not I. Isn’t this public land? It’s nice to have friends in big places.

As so much of the success of “The Flea†(and Brownstoner in general) is driven by community involvement and goodwill – I wonder if there is any way to creatively harness the success of the Brooklyn Flea initiative to contribute to a specific community project/goal.
Is this already being done or considered?
Does it still go on rain or shine?
Do the furniture vendors choose not to set up if it’s raining.
Just wondering if it’s worth the trip out?
