More Accolades for the Flea

Hot on the heels of Planet Green's naming The Flea the #1 flea market in the U.S. come more props from Budget Travel: The popular magazine just included the Flea near the top of its list of America's Best Flea Markets. Here's what they had to say: "In less than two years, this sale in a Brooklyn schoolyard has attracted a large enough following to justify a second location and seasonal spin-off events. Shoppers come for the mix of vintage clothing and jewelry, architectural salvage, and decorative objects like modernist table lamps and metal desk fans dating from the early to mid-1900s. Alongside the secondhand-goods sellers, you'll find booths from local designers of reclaimed-wood furniture, handmade shoes, and more. The food stands are just as diverse: Celebrated taco vendors, cheesemongers, and bakers all make weekly appearances."

the brooklyn flea is the best flea i've been in since the days on canal street in the 80's....and even better than 24th street from the same period...you've pulled together all the oldies..(vendors).. with kick-ass taste,and somehow managed to get today's hipsters in on it,too....i applaud you, and bow from the waist to your numerous and varied organizational skill sets..
