This flea market is the best one I've been. The vendors have properly curated their wares which make it all the more enjoyable to shop. From antiques to jewelry and gourmet food, it has it all!
Go downstairs to the food vendors & eat everything in sight. Highlights: spicy tuna nachos from Takumi, lobster mac & cheese from Red Hook Co, and a Porchetta sandwich. Enjoy the following food coma.
Very chill spot to find some interesting items. When I went, I ended up falling for Live Poultry shirts and Osborn shoes. Some of the sales people are snots but everyone was generally nice.
Check out Lon's collection of vintage American postcards, located just to the right as you enter. We've found some great old images for our tours. Also check out his tumblr - Bad Postcards. Hilarious.

From soap, earrings and watches to oysters, ice cream and bicycles, the Flea is an ode to the city’s dedicated craftsmen. In a word: it makes you happy.
Bargaining strategy: Always claim you have less money with you than the real amount in your wallet. They might agree to YOUR price if they think anything higher will make you walk away.
Want a charm made w/ an old key or watch face? Couldn't find the right vintage dress at Beacon's Closet? Don't have enough artsy prints in your apartment? If so, Brooklyn Flea is the place for you.
There's a new food vendor today--a Greek bakery. His pitas are the real thing (I'm Greek, I know!). The round spinach & zuchinni pitas were especially good.

Head to the vault, find the Asia Dog stall and ask for Melanie! My favourite one is the MASH: spicy and topped with grated carrot & crushed potato chips.
