Brooklyn Flea

Here's a perfect time-passer for your next
 cold, rainy and dreary Sunday in New York.



Housed in the gorgeous former
Williamsburgh Savings Bank building,

the landmark building itself is as much fun 
to explore as the flea market fare.








 This beats the muddy/dusty grounds of
most flea markets.


There's some token junky fare, but honestly
this is one of the most curated flea
markets I've come across.
And a little pricey.  But justified, as many
vendors are artists making beautiful things.








The food was a delightful discovery!  Not your typical 
egg, bacon & cheese choices.

Lunch was a spicy tuna taco, a curried beef taco,
a spare rib taco, and peach green tea.




 The Commerce Bakery makes a mean blueberry pop-tart.




The Brooklyn Flea.  
1 Hanson Place, Fort Greene Brooklyn.
Sundays 10-6, through March 2013.
Looking forward to spring to cover
the bigger and livelier outdoor Brooklyn Flea...
....stay tuned!
