« Madewell + The Flea: We Match! - BFFs Of The Week: Brett Solomon and Allan Parker »

For those of you interested in keeping up with flea market gossip in the New York City area, today was a big news day: First, the NY Post ran an article about Thor Equities' failed attempt at starting a market in Coney Island: "Sitt's ads for his "Flea by the Sea" are a stretch even by propaganda standards, as the pictures on this page show. Sitt's tented flea market, shown as two rows of striped tents crammed with happy visitors, so far consists of a single, thinly-populated tent even though the "festival" started on May 15." Then The Observer broke the news that developer who bought the property that houses the Antiques Garage at 112 West 25th Street in Manhattan has recently filed plans for a 29-story hotel on the site. "It's news to me," said Alan Boss, whose lease requires that the developer give him three months notice before kicking him out. Interesting times in the flea market business.
