« BFFs of the Week - Book Drive=Success »

A bonanza of bonafide ink, virtual and actual, hits the stands this week.

A true coup, The New Yorker's opening photo this week is from the Fort Greene Flea. Yola Monakhov took it, and you can see the pic in the slideshow on their website. Longtime New Yorker devotees, we're excited about this one.

New York's Adam Platt sampled 8 new artisanal locally made sodas, and selected Flea newcomer and instant hit Brooklyn Soda Works as the vinner. Congrats to Caroline and Tony, whose red currant-cardamom flavor was loved up in its debut Saturday. Sounds like they'll be available at Bierkraft soon too!

The Daily News ran a cute 50 Things that Make New Yorkers Smile roundup today, and the Flea made it in at a respectable #49. (Seeing Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is #25, so we don't feel slighted.)

The August issue of Delta's Sky in-flight magazine lists the Flea in the same top-five breath as global bedrocks such as London's Portobello Market, Brimfield, and the Rose Bowl—serious brethren! Plus, Marky Mark's on the cover.

National shelter mag Traditional Home has a big Brooklyn travel feature this month that includes some nice Flea shout-outs. Worth a read for their well-researched designer coverage and cool hand-drawn map (above).
