Closing Bell: No August Slowdown at The Flea

In addition to the new bike valet service that Transportation Alternatives will be providing to Fleasters this Sunday, there’s a batch of exciting new vendors taking their inaugural voyage aboard the S.S. Brooklyn Flea. The group includes Un Jour, Georges, who sells a mixture of French and European antiques as well as hand-crafted dried flower arrangements; Louis Acosta, a specialist in Spanish Colonial art and antiques; Gal Friday Goods, a Maryland-based vendor of mid-century modern furniture, lighting, collectibles and vintage clothing; Eric Wolfe, who will be parting ways with his personal collection of cameras, art books and antique photographs; Joseph Sipos, a longtime seller of vintage clothing and accessories who used to have a store called Hooky in Nolita. For more recent news on The Flea check out the Flea Blog. For newbies, Flea hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday; it’s located at 176 Lafayette Avenue in Brooklyn; no bikes or dogs allowed in the market. Closest 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.
