Closing Bell: Shoptober at The Flea

We’re psyched for a bunch of new vendors this weekend at The Flea. In particular: A vintage psychedelic poster seller, a Russell Wright specialist and a high-end rug dealer offering some of his stock at Flea-friendly prices. Oh, and the Red Hook Lobster Pound will be debuting its lobster bisque this weekend as well. As always, if you get there early you have a shot at winning the scavenger hunt; this week’s items viewable here. The Brooklyn Flea is held on Saturdays from 10 to 5 at the Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in Fort Greene (176 Lafayette Avenue between Clermont and Vanderbilt Avenues; take the C or G trains to Clinton-Washington) and on Sundays from 11-6 in Dumbo underneath the Brooklyn Bridge at the corner of Water and New Dock Street.
