Anyone saying the PS 321 Flea Market is somehow more authentic than the Brooklyn Flea is disconnected from reality. The biggest difference between the two is that Brooklyn Flea has food and designer booths, but both are filled to the brim with traditional flea market wares at reasonable prices.

Granted when it started Brooklyn Flea was a tad more “twee” and precious and focused on just the designers. But now? It’s far more balanced.

And not for nothing, but the PS 321 flea has some really bad vendors by any standard. Guys who sell old toys from the 1980s that nobody wanted then, and nobody wants now.

It takes time to hook the upstate and out-of-state vendors to come to the Brooklyn Flea, but the Voice is wrong.

Yes, Blake. Thanks for that, jawbreaker. It will be fixed.

I’ve only been to the Brooklyn Flea once, and while I thought it was neat, it certainly didn’t strike me as the place to go if you’re trying to live on “small change.” PS 321 probably fits that bill better, albeit with much less to see/shop.
