The waterfront district here starting to get developed into prime real estate just like Brooklyn Bridge Park as the previous industrial area makes way to residential / commercial. Situated in Industry City the warehouse hub where food establishments are using the industrial space to prepare their food to be distributed throughout the NYC area. Smorgasburg now has set up shop here on the weekends. It's a bit confusing to navigate since it's such a large commercial park but Smorgasburg is situated in building 1 and on the 2nd floor. One side of the large floor space is dedicated to the flea portion and the other side is dedicated to the food stall section. Some highlights in the food section are the ramen shack with the same proprietor of the ramen burger. The ramen shack is a small stall seating at the bar. The ramen is quite good. Had the Brooklyn style and spicey ramen. Both broths were really good along with the tender pork. The add on elements of a tea egg and the spices really make it a good bowl of ramen on a winters day. The tonkatsu broth really shines. Wowfulls another stall serves Hong Kong style waffle cakes but in this instance wrapped crepe style and filled with ice cream and add ons. The green tea wowfull with ice cream and mocha really make a great snack or dessert. In all the seasons smorgasburg in industry city is a great choice of venue.

*This review is specifically for Ramen Shack, one of the food vendors at the market*…read more This smorgasburg is not the same as the ones in the hipster part of brooklyn---here you'd see tall factory buildings, highways, no trees or grass whatsoever. The flea market is inside a building called Industry City. Follow the signs and go to the 2nd floor for goods and foods, and prepare to be wow-ed. It's like walking through a floor of shopping mall. In the end of the section, you'd find a bunch of food vendors and you can get you food to sit at the open area. You MUST go further down to find this INSPIRING and DELICIOUS vendor called Ramen Shack by Keizo Shimamoto (creator of ramen burger!). The shack is at the deep corner (you'd see the maroon banner). What makes it an awesome sauce is that...you can taste the passion and authenticity in Keizo's ramen. It's like something your family would make in Japan; it doesn't have the glamorous coating like the so-called Ippudo. Keizo has been making a variation of tonkotsu pork, shoyu and vegetarian ramen since his debut in Queens. I've been to his ramen.co at FiDi, the LIC location and now Sunset Park Brooklyn, and his stuff is still the same----same goodness (although actually I prefer the Shack-style ramen). His latest addition to the menu, Green Curry Soba is beyond words. There's a lot of history behind that bowl of ramen (google it). This is the 3rd time I tried green curry ramen: 1st at where I used to work (Bassanova NYC), then at Jin. What makes Keizo's GCS different is that the broth is just so smooth and yet you still get a kick of flavor. I only tried the GCS2016 with chicken and dashi broth instead of the usual pork, but I'm telling you, it was instant love at first sight and bite. In general: the ramen is just so fresh. You won't be disappointed with an egg. Price is amazing too (one $ sign).

This flea is a few blocks away from the market , within walking distance. What I loved about this particular one, was that it wasn't overwhelmingly huge. Just the perfect amount of vendors selling quite a few vintage items and antiques. I zeroed in on the $10 or less tent and the brooch/pin/jewelry vendor. Ended up buying some vintage Dutch Delft brooches for a good deal. Don't hesitate to bargain. Check my pic out for flea market deets on days, times, and address.

On instagram, they show these tight little shots of cute trinkets, interesting art, of maybe just the perfect vintage piece. But you get there and . . . it's just like any old flea market, but probably more expensive. I wouldn't say people shouldn't look around and experience it if they are wanting to shop and treasure hunt. But a lot of it is tangled jewelry in bins, old DVDs (I know that's making a comeback), clothing that's stained, a few cool things dispersed amongst the junk.

This is such an awesome pop-up market in Brooklyn featuring local artists, designers and creators!!…read moreThis summer (dates on their website), the market is popping up on select weekends at the Invisible Dog Art Center on Bergen street in Cobble Hill. Exactly the type of location you'd picture it at - a perfect fit. There are upwards of 30 vendors in the space with everything from pottery, clothing, jewelry, coasters, plants, and general household knick-knacks that you're SURE to find something for yourself or something for a friend's birthday or for a "just because" gift. I'm obsessed. It's extra cool because you're shopping local and supporting local businesses and artists. Tip: don't miss the trucks stopped outside that are also part of the event (esp Hunt & Gather!). So freaking cool that there are pop-up shops INSIDE trucks as part of the pop-up shop! As most know, shopping local oftentimes comes at a cost... and some things are a bit pricey. Which is why I'm knocking it down a star. It's not the market's fault, but it still makes it tough for us sort-of-frugal-buyers to find affordable items. I did, however, get an amazing coaster with the Brooklyn Bridge on it, painted by a local, and there were some plates/bowls and rings I had my eye on as well. Tons of options, and recommend EVERYONE stop by, no matter what price range you're looking in. I'll be back.

This flea is smaller than the other more popular ones, but definitely has some great things to offer, including photos for sale (very nice pics of New Orleans albeit a bit depressing), jewellery, clothes, stockings, food (including desserts by Michael Allen, and also apple arugula kimchee). It made for a fun Sunday afternoon :-) Check it out and support a good cause!

I have included a photo of the feces they left on the sidewalk. This is either done by the owner or one of the vendors. I came back a few days later to see if somebody cleaned it up.

If you shop here, you going to get everybody in your house severely sick or worse! If you browsed here, wash and sterilize your hands with rubbing alcohol! Jesus! And they're selling food here!

It has a fun and lively vibe with a mix of vintage items, handmade crafts, jewelry, artwork, clothing, collectibles, and food stands all in one place.

It made my visit to the Bazaar all the more pleasant. I've been coming to Grand Bazaar for more years than I care to remember, having taken a break for ten -- okay twenty -- years. Can't put my finger on why, perhaps I'm not as interested as I used to be. While the market is vibrant and busy, it's not as it was. Perhaps not as much diversity in wares. (I used to get a lot of pottery, art and vintage jewelry.) Back in the day, my friends and I would go to the East Village and buy funky old fur jackets for a song. I kind of had that in the back of my mind coming here. (There are many vintage coat vendors.) But prices have risen considerably. (What hasn't?!) The market is open Sundays, year 'round. Despite buying nothing, I know I'll be back. (Maybe coats get cheaper when it's warmer.) Plus, I like strolling around on the upper westside, which has a different flavor than the eastside, where I live.
