Brooklyn Flea Market - Fort Greene


I took my very first trip down to Brooklyn for the famed Brooklyn Flea Market!  It was definitely fun, a lot to see, a lot to eat, there were so many food vendors, I feel like all we did was eat!  I would go alone next time to whiz through all the junk and find my treasures.  There was a gorgeous secretary I wanted - to use as a giant jewelry box/ vanity, perfect condition, all the little drawers working smoothly - but the horror... how to take it home??  Next time, I'll definitely take a car!  Some highlights:

Liddabit Sweet - Yummmm!  Delicious PB&J Candy bar, and various caramels.


Rick's Picks - bought a jar of the People's Pickles, and can't stop snacking of them!


Milk Truck Grilled Cheese - the classic grilled cheese with perfectly buttered and toasted bread, and oozy gruyere cheese!  Oh, and their black and white milk shake... yummmm :)


Blue Marble Ice Cream - delicious strawberry ice cream, simply put.


Red Hook Lobster Pound - now this was the only disappointment.  The lobster roll... yes this picture looks good, but Luke's Lobster does a better lobster roll.  I crave it!


All in all, it became a foodie trip to the flea market.  I'll know what to expect for next time though!  Oh, a great thing about this flea market, they don't charge you an entrance fee like the ones in California!
