Heading to the subway for a trip to the Brooklyn flea market, this little cutie came bouncing across Broadway with the biggest smile that made a great start to my day! Couldn’t understand a word he said…but he was thrilled to have his picture taken. Now is he adorable or what?
This sign on the L train heading to Brooklyn was the second greatest start of my day! Now isn’t there so much truth in this statement!
Now the Brooklyn Flea. Oh my…so much to share with you! Prior to going, I’d read that The New York Times called the Flea “One of the great urban experiences in New York!” So true!
Oh how I love flea markets and this one tops the list for me. So much artistic local talent amongst so many vintage collectables brought in by hundreds of local and regional vendors overlooking the East river with views of Manhattan.
See these little Macanudo boxes? The perfect size for holding polaroids!
Could it get any more perfect? Yes, the food quality from these vendors will blow your mind. The bao from Big BAO will just melt in your mouth – no chewing needed! (I even dreamed about them last night.) The pork sandwich from Porchetta will awaken the taste buds with their seasonings of aromatic herbs, spices, garlic, sage, rosemary and wild fennel pollen. And then to end the visit with some tastes from the baked goodies from Smore Bakery. It doesn’t get any better!
But wait! There’s more! Just up the street from the flea market is Artists & Fleas. Next trip I’ll spend more time there and post about it in the future. OMG. There is no doubt that my future Sundays will now be filled with excursions to Williamsburg in Brooklyn! Oh how I love the vibe in this neighborhood!
(Bella’s 52 photos project has started a new year and this week the prompt was conversation. I’d have to say my little smiling friend at the top of my post was my favorite for this topic!)
Looks like my favourite fleemarket. Perfekt with the skyline in the background! More pictures, please! Btw., love your new portrait photo!
I’d have to agree with that smile, Robin. It would have started off my day, too! But I LOVE the idea of your polaroids fitting into those Macanudo boxes. I’d be in heaven. (Did I ever tell you I love collecting wooden cigar boxes?)
OMG put this on the list of things to do when I get there please…!
XXOO & MORE!!
