The "Brooklyn Flea"

Today we decided to go on an adventure out to Fort Greene Brooklyn to explore The Brooklyn Flea. Apparently the Brooklyn Flea runs year round, but this was the first weekend of the summer season for the market, meaning that it operates outdoors (during the winter, the Flea operates indoors at another location).

It was an eclectic mix of vintage clothing, antique furniture, artisan wares, artisanal food vendors, some live music and GREAT people watching.

It was delicious, fun and funky all at the same time. There were homemade pickles, homemade sauces, cheeses, soaps and clothing. We even saw live lobsters dropped into a pot of boiling water... magically they turned colour and were much less live than when they went in....

It was a beautiful sunny day, not too hot and well worth the trip. We will definitely do it again. The kiddo was just happy we found some swings on the way home!
