Brownstoner Launching Brooklyn Flea

Our friends at Brownstoner are launching Brooklyn Flea and it promises to be Brooklyn's biggest and best flea market in the spring in a 40,000 square foot schoolyard in Fort Greene. The new website says: "The Bishop Loughlin school yard is located on Lafayette Avenue between Clermont and Vanderbilt Avenues, positioning the flea market just a block from "brunch row" on Dekalb Avenue and only four subway stops from Downtown Manhattan. Our goal is to create a destination event that gives people from all over the city yet another reason to visit Brooklyn. We plan to put together the best assortment of dealers across a wide range of interests, from antiques to crafts to vinyl records; we're also hoping to create a food court of local and organic offerings." It sounds like it's destined to be a big success.
