Lonely Planet review for Brooklyn Flea Market

Too bad this flea market only takes place on weekends (Saturdays at Fort Greene and Sundays in Boerum Hill) because a lifetime isn't long enough to wade through all the riches here – and you'll definitely want to check out the food stalls, many stocked with delectables from standout local restaurants.

    I discovered Brooklyn Flea by chance. i read an article in Popular Mechanics while on a plane to NYC for our honeymoon. immediately i put this spot on our list of spots to see while in town. we went the next morning, Sunday, to the Williamsburg location on the East River. we spent several hours browsing and eating amazing food. if we lived locally we would have bought a lot more stuff. however...we purchased only what we could squeeze into our luggage. my only critique is that many of the merchants were setting up as late as noon or 1pm when the market actually opened at 10am. so i'm sure we missed out on a few booths but we just couldnt spend all day there. so if you plan to go and want the full effect....arrive at noon or later.

    Cross the East River to find treasure (or trash)

    Hang out with all the cool kids in Brooklyn. They collect old typewriters, or napkin holders made of coloured resin in the shape of owls, or vintage handbags. And this is where they come to shop. Lots and lots of carefully curated old junk, and some nice modern groovy crafty things. You'll also find locally produced foodstuffs, also groovy: beers and sodas and pickles (ok, pickles aren't groovy). And best of all, a fantastic array of food stalls, including a lobster roll stall (lobster! at a flea market!) and excellent enchiladas.
