There is something for everyone – literally – at Brooklyn’s plethora of local DIY artisan and food markets. Here’s the December 2012 line up!
November 30, 2012 Boroughing, Classic, Food, New, The PeopleA tipster sends in this picture of Frances McDormand – of Fargo fame – digging through some vintage duds at the expanded Brooklyn Flea in Dumbo this past weekend.
McDormand shot scenes for husband Joel Coen’s film Burn After Reading in Brooklyn Heights in 2007 and lives in New York, though we’re not sure if she actually lives in the borough.
We hope she found something unique!
February 9, 2009 Fashion, The LocalsAfter a month of success at their winter pop-up market in Dumbo, Brooklyn Flea has expanded to a second storefront across the street at 76 Front Street.
Sit and Read Furniture was there hocking early American and mid-century wares. Owner Kyle Garner had managed to sell his most expensive (a gorgeous marble table) and least expensive (a pair of chairs) pieces by late afternoon, and said business was steady all day.

“Have you been to Dumbo yet?” my mother asked me over the phone last week.

The media you see here is free, both in the sense that you are not paying for it, but also in that it serves as a place to exchange free speech. This speech is not mediated by corporate sponsors. If you find it compelling, please support this project as we build new media for free culture in Brooklyn.
As little as $5 goes a long way as we build our new infrastructure without venture capitalists, grants, traditional media or sponsorships. This project is totally DIY and donations are tax-deductible.
