Closing Bell: Flea This, Flea That
In addition to checking out the latest batch of furniture makers in the Furniture Fest tent, we’re looking forward to spending some time with the what we see as the backbone of The Flea: The old-reliable vendors of furniture, household items and miscellaneous oddities who show up week in and week out.

In addition to checking out the latest batch of furniture makers in the Furniture Fest tent, we’re looking forward to spending some time with the what we see as the backbone of The Flea: The old-reliable vendors of furniture, household items and miscellaneous oddities who show up week in and week out. Vendors like Karen & Albert Antiques, Jaybird Antiques, Colonia and Red Barn Antiques. We’ll also stop by to congratulate John Murphy on winning the Best Brooklyn Flea Vendor award from the Village Voice Best of NYC awards this week.
Please note: The Flea will not be held on Sunday, November 2 because of the New York City Marathon. Then we’ll be back in action every Sunday through Christmas.
The Brooklyn Flea is held on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 176 Lafayette Avenue in Brooklyn; no bikes or dogs allowed in the market. Closest trains are the C and G to Washington/Clinton. You can also take any of the number of trains that go to Atlantic Station and walk up Lafayette Avenue from there. For more info, check out the Flea Blog.
Yes, we don’t like the marathon either…better be OOT that weekend or run out of the house in the early morning and come home in the evening on that day.
Again bought, in my opinion, one of the nicest things at the flea market this weekend. I think on of the flea organizers, the Brownstoner young man, found a lovely item from the same vendor.
How are plans coming on finding an interior space for the cold weather season?
I really hate that stupid marathon.
im gonna definitely try and make it out to this one, as i havent been to it yet.
