Weekend Special: More New Food from the Brooklyn Flea
At Saturday's Brooklyn Flea in Ft. Greene, you could cop a vintage dress spattered with red, red tomatoes.
Back in April, Fork in the Road reported on the efflorescence of food at the Brooklyn Flea. That trend continued through the summer and into the fall, and now there are an even dozen food-bearing establishments at the open-air market, nearly eclipsing the rest of the stuff at the market. While this was the last week for the People's Pops ("The weather is getting too cool," reports Nathalie, who intends to go on the road), other booths will be staying into autumn, including the old standbys selling pizza, papusas, and quesadillas.
At the booth of Salvatore Bklyn--an outfit that makes its own ricotta cheese--little toasts with serrano ham, arugula, and well-peppered fresh mozzarella sell for a mere $3, and olive oil is poured over the top at the last minute.
Comparative newcomers to the mix of vendors include lobster rolls from the Red Hook Lobster Pound, diverse caramels from Liddabit Sweets, and hot dogs from Asiadog. There are also two pickle vendors, a cookie seller, and a place that pours exotic teas. Collectively, this may be the very best food court in the city, second to none.
