Brooklyn Flea market
Don’t worry, you’ll probably be spared from endless sock vendors at this Fort Greene bazaar, which is slated to set up its tables on April 6. The space outside of Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School on Lafayette Avenue between Clermont and Vanderbilt Avenues will host a quirky roster of items, including housewares curated by Design*Sponge blogger Grace Bonney and beauty loot sold by an Avon lady.
Ikea
The controversial Red Hook outcropping of the megachain (ikea.com) on Beard Street is rumored to finally emerge this summer, taking over what was a historic shipyard facing the Gowanus Expressway.
