With many of New York’s flea markets losing their space to new developments, the announcement of a new weekly event in the up-and-coming neighborhood brought out the big crowds.

Organized by Jonathan Butler, the guy behind the Brownstoner.com, the market definitely had a particularly ‘Brooklyn’ vibe with carefully curated vendors and fashionable visitors.
