Brooklyn Flea

Every weekend, over 100 vendors gather under the Brooklyn Flea banner to sell all manner of cool stuff—from vintage and locally designed duds to antique furniture; arts and crafts; and food, glorious food (we recommend the fresh fruit and herb combo popsicles by People's Pops and Asia Dog's beef, chicken, and veggie franks with yummy toppings like Japanese curry and shredded kimchi apples). Plan on spending a couple of hours browsing and chatting with the vendors—it's a great way to plug into the Brooklyn scene. Every Friday at noon, the list goes up on the market's Web site of the vendors taking part that weekend.—Nicola McCormack
