Beth GibbiNovember 8, 2016Moves indoors for Winter to 1 Hanson Place, to a disused HSBC Bank. Find clothes, Vinyl to kitchen homewares. Great to visit but overpriced. Mix of tasty food served from stalls in the vaults!
Sharon P.November 29, 2014There's handmade, vintage, and refurbished everything. Take your time and don't be afraid to barter. And before you leave, stop by the soda stand for the most delicious apple-ginger pop.
Elevine BergeAugust 25, 2014Great variety, high quality vendors; vintage clothing, exciting food, furniture +++ and a nice neighbourhood feel compared to the hectic Williamsburg flea
Go early. The line grows quickly. Usually they are really quick, but the pickin' gets slim on sunny days. Convenient when you don't want to go to Red Hook & only need a lobster roll fix on Sat.
Elvin G. MarmolAugust 18, 2015Food is always great, the other shopping stands can be a collection of random things. But there are gems to be found. Take your time on a nice day to check it out.
Chris LainoApril 26, 2014Watch out for your bike. Mine was stolen today chained right next to the entrance and the "security". It was a northrock white bike with a brown seat and white and pink helmet.- Food, clothes, furniture, bikes, tons of stuff. Little expensive, but awesome. Make sure to check out the surrounding streets for more impromptu stoop sales.
Matthew BraleyApril 9, 2012Food's straight back, eat lots of small things. Highly recommend the Red Hook Lobster Rolls, and the grilled cheese with spicy pickles. Eat on the steps and enjoy the people and dog watching
42nd Street PhotoAugust 16, 2011Lots of cool vendors, home made gourmet foods and artwork and great deals on tons of one of a kind trinkets, you can also get some unique photos of people and items here
SnapJune 12, 2014Our hot dog makers, Brooklyn Bangers, can be found here grilling up delicious sausages on the weekends. They also have a stall at Barclay's Center.- Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015Held Saturdays, April through October, in an outdoor lot in Fort Greene, and on Sundays in Williamsburg, the Flea has launched many brick-and-mortar businesses throughout New York City.

BerniceSeptember 22, 2012Great stall with vinyl records and original etchings by Jacques Simon. Etchings are $10 each. Just bought a few. Good buy on vinyl. Just head for stall on right of entrance along gate for Ronnie Seein
Time Out New YorkOctober 31, 2011The best year-round market brings together 150 local vendors carrying all manner of vintage, handmade and antique wares. The Flea will move to its winter location on November 26.- Zina AlamJune 21, 2016Open Saturdays - awesome little flea with food options too. Fort Greene is also a lovely neighbourhood to explore.
CharleneJune 25, 2015If you come just for the Red Hook Lobster Pound lobster roll, it's worth it. Perfectly warm, toasty, buttery bun! Really the best there is.
Nikki KasparMay 24, 2012bring tons of cash if you expect to buy anything, as most vendors take cash only - there is an ATM provided on spot but there's always a huge line & a fee!
Danny CarnajeAugust 9, 2014Hit up Darrel for some great vintage sports T's! He has. Great selection of late 80's to mid 90's basketball shirts that you can't find anywhere else.
GNTLMNMay 7, 2012Great antique furniture, crafts and vintage knick-knacks. Even if you don't find a flea treasure today, there's still the amazing food vendors that will make a visit a very satisfying experience.
Liana ZOctober 3, 2012Top-notch food stalls and cute vintage vendors. Visit the Dough stand -try the lemon and ginger doghnut, it's amazing.
I’m into it. 😁 Cozy, great atmosphere. Amazing place to spend a sunny weekend afternoon.
Isabela G.April 20, 2015Great for browsing through, some neat vintage clothes and furniture, plus good food .
Gilt CityMarch 29, 2011From soap, earrings and watches to oysters, ice cream and bicycles, the Flea is an ode to the city’s dedicated craftsmen. In a word: it makes you happy.
Tammy GordonMay 5, 2012I'm in love with the Brooklyn Flea. Try @AsiaDogNYC, Good Fork, Brooklyn Soda... Pretty much eat & shop your brains out!
Erik RodriguezJune 13, 2015Lots of very cool things from every era and locale...and your can get some grub there too! .. def a decorators playground!
The Corcoran GroupAugust 17, 2010Hundreds of vendors selling vintage clothing, antiques, new jewelry and arts & crafts. Definitely go for the expanding selection of food!
Amy CoatesJuly 5, 2015Vintage furniture, jewellery, and other crafts. Try something other than the fries, they have no flavour.
Rue La LaSeptember 5, 2012The early bird catches the vintage records, mid-century modern tables, and so much more. Down a large latte before you dig in.
Lucky MagazineJune 15, 2012Rie Akuto, budding stylist, loves to browse the incredible vintage selection any time she can.
Precise & TrampJune 5, 2010The best place to get vintage jewlery and vinyl records in brooklyn!! there's a bit too many "new" vintage vendors but the REAL vintage vintage vendors ROCK!
Afi Yellow-DukeSeptember 5, 2015lots of funky vintage clothes and antiques! it's a great place to browse
FashismOctober 29, 2010A great place to spend a Saturday: Shop for vintage clothes and furniture, feast on Red Hook tacos and hopefully bump into someone you know.
CharlottesSeptember 28, 2015Better than the lackluster market are the buildings surrounding the square.
Eat everything. Seriously. And especially the Mexican food near the gate, the porchetta sandwich, anything from Scratchbread, you won't leave hungry.
Don't arrive right when it opens - the vendors won't be completely set up. Don't arrive too late - the mass of people are hard to negotiate. It's a delicate balance.
Design*SpongeMarch 27, 2011It's hard to over-sell this weekly flea. Amazing food, good (albeit often overpriced) vintage wares and a good place to people watch.
You have to check out the high end vintage clothes vendors and the amazing food!
Christen DuongAugust 27, 2011Work up an appetite by browsing the cool vintage stuff, then grab a lobster roll and a watermelon fruit drink to eat on the steps.
Casey PotenzoneJanuary 15, 2011The papusas are king. Followed by grilled cheese a fish tacos. A strong contender for king is also the pizza!
Renate LyseNovember 14, 2013Flea market worth checking out for treasure hunting. You never know what you can stumble on.
ChowMama Stacie BillisSeptember 26, 2009most food here is tasty. I'm always torn between anything Mexican or the (portable!) brick oven pizzas. there's also a stand towards entrance that sells prosciutto bruschetta--yum!
Jenny MillerJune 25, 2011Dough is now selling its amazing doughnuts here. Nuff said. Dulce de leche is off the hizzle
Susan KilleNovember 14, 2010If you weren't hungry when you arrive, you will be when you start smelling the food. For the value conscious, the $5 papusa platter rules with two cheese & jalapeno papusas.
