Brooklyn Flea + Smorgasburg

Yesterday was Brooklyn Flea+Smorgasburg day. They’ve moved both events into the second floor of a warehouse at 80 North 5th St at Wythe Ave. I never really attend flea markets in the summer because they seems like more of a summer event. I’m glad we decided to go as we were pleasantly surprised to find the quality of vendors and food was the same.

A few flea finds…

1. Flux Productions is a small craft company based in Fort Green. Everything is made by hand using the highest quality leather and hardware. I fell in love with this Cork, Felt and Rubber iPad case $90

2. I’ve seen APOTHEKE products at West Elm but I finally had a chance to stop by their booth and sample their goods. The candles are exquisite and I want every single soap bar they carry. Everything is hand made in Brooklyn using 100% soy wax fragrance and essential oils. Candles $28, Soap Bars $8

3. It wouldn’t be a trip to Smorgasburg without Spencer sampling at least 4 food boths…he loves food! We had heard through Gothamist that the Ramen Burger was incredible so we finally tried it and its amazing! In simple terms the Ramen Burger is a burger made with ramen discs fried in sesame oil instead of bread. The patty is grilled and topped with shoyu sauce, peppery arugula and sprinkled with scallions. Yum!
