DUMBO Doubles Down
Even though Racked somehow scooped the primary source, us, we're excited to announce that starting this weekend (Jan. 31/Feb.1) the Dumbo Pop-Up Market is expanding!
Same details as the antiques market: Saturdays and Sundays, 11am to 6pm, through March 29. The address is 81 Front St. (Click the Map/Directions tab to go to there.)
The 6100sf loft-like space will feature 35 (mostly) non-vintage vendors of clothes, jewelry, art, handmade/crafts, and best of all, food! This weekend, Jan. 31/Feb. 1, will be a soft launch for the new space, with the full grand opening Feb. 7/8. In short, we're getting the band back together!
So who's onboard so far? Silkscreeners Loyalty + Blood, Brooklyn Junior, and Flux Productions. Jewelers Birdhouse, Bonbon Oiseau, Jessica De Carlo, and Blint Design. Upcyclers Reclaimed Home and Un Jour, Georges. Handmade mavens Heartisans, Perch Design, A.S.I.S., and Hortensia Handmade. Vintage finds from FDR to JFK and Sew Moni.
We'll also have the folks from DUMBO record shop Halcyon and other guest DJs spinning every weekend, special guest curators, and lots of other cool stuff.
Flea food-vendor staples Kumquat Cupcakery, McClure's Pickles, Hot Blondies Bakery, and Choice Market will all be at 81 Front St. Fine + Raw Chocolate will debut their insane raw hot cocoa. Consider Bardwell, the 140-year-old Vermont cheese farm, will be selling their award-winning goat and cow cheeses starting Feb. 8. For the 81 Front launch this weekend, Chris and his Kings County BBQ truck will be parked out front.
Did we mention pupusas? They're back too! Red Hook and Brooklyn Flea Food Vendor Rafael Soler will have his renowned pupusas available at 81 Front St. starting this weekend.
Winter Pop-Up will also feature the debut of the "Curated Corner," where the Flea will partner with guest curators to bring in their favorite designer/shop/artist/dealer to hold a one-time-only show/sample sale/trunk show. Curators include: Daily Candy (Feb. 7/8, Feb. 28/March 1, March 28/29), Refinery29 (Feb. 21/22), Cool Hunting (March 7/8), and Fred Flare (date TBA). (More curators to be announced soon.) Guest curators will create their own environments inside the market where visitors can shop and meet the creatives behind their favorite brands.
Pulled pork, a handmade t-shirt, some earrings, a vintage side table, and some classic Dior sunglasses--the Winter Pop-Up is a Brooklyn winter wonderland.
