Last Day of the Brooklyn (outdoor) Flea!

Today I biked to Dumbo to bid farewell to the Brooklyn Flea. Today was the last day for the outdoor season before moving indoors. "The flea" (as its called) has transformed over the years from a real old school flea to a Brooklyn designer showcase. Most the vendors now are Brooklyn based indie designers profiting off their local labels. High class food is also now a selling point including $14 lobster rolls and the pupusa stand from the Red Hook ball fields.

Last month, Martha Stewart visited the Brooklyn Flea (kind of annoying!) and I literally heard someone in line for pupusas (El Salvadorian empanadas) say she now knows what pupusas are because of Martha. Unreal. I did eat one (cheese and jalapeno!) and it was delicious. Watch this video! (Rachel, owner of Maptote, is one of Melissa's best friends. I have a Brooklyn bag and gave Jer a DC one for this birthday last year...)
