Earlier this week we shlepped into Manhattan along with Fleamaster Eric Demby for the Municipal Art Society‘s annual awards ceremony, held this year at the Chelsea Art Museum on 22nd Street. We were honored to receive a Certificate of Merit from the planning and preservation group for the Brooklyn Flea‘s “exceptional contribution to the life of New York City.” More specifically, The Flea got props for “providing an alternative to big-box retail that embodies a private sector spirit while yielding generous public benefits.”
Yes! Marvelous!
This is cool for you, Mr. and Mrs. B.
Congratulations.
BoD be lovin’ that big box retail!
Big box: household basics at low prices.
Flea market: tchotchkes for people with too much money on their hands.
I guess that makes it an alternative.
We couldn’t agree more with the MAC — well deserved recognition. We love the flea and love how it is developing.
the flea provides “an alternative to big-box retail” ???
i don’t think so!!!!!!
You looked sharp brownstoner man. Wish you could have spoken a bit longer.
Thanks, everyone. Especially the great vendors who show up week after week!
Good news.
Here’s a suggestion for your next site:
The armory on Grant Square. Huge space. Covered in inclement weather. An iconic building. And at the crossing of Brownstone Brooklyn’s Prospect Heights, Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights.
