New York City Flea Markets
When you think about shopping in New York City, what comes to mind?
Big name department stores, Fifth Avenue and high-end boutiques, right?
While perhaps not your first thought, something you definitely want to
consider is the myriad of New York flea markets. Yep, that's right, flea
markets! What will you find at a flea market? Anything and everything -
- antiques, vintage clothing, accessories, artwork, jewelry, home decor,
food - - the list is endless. While most flea markets are outdoors and
therefore only open for the warmer/summer months, several are open
year-round.
At the end of our flea market listing, we've given you information on
the various Smorgasburg locations. Smorguasburg, created by the folks at
Brooklyn Flea, is an all-food market featuring packaged and prepared
foods, local food vendors and food-related supplies.
