The flea-market staycation: Go shopping on this NYC flea-cation

Scope threads at Brooklyn Flea

Admit it, your favorite part of vacationing somewhere is the shopping. Why not just do some damage close to home? And lest you think you’ve seen it all, there’s a slew of new vendors at this year’s edition of the Brooklyn Flea: In Williamsburg, ladies should browse MTA’s vintage clothing booth (with a focus on the ’60s to ’80s), curated by three stylish Japanese gals. Or check out  the Yorkwood Line (yorkwoodco.com), selling sleek furniture made from reclaimed wood. • 176 Lafayette Ave between Clermont and Vanderbilt Aves, Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Sat 10am–5pm. • East River Waterfront between North 6th and 7th Sts, Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Sun 10am–5pm. • brooklynflea.com

Consider bike accents at Dekalb Market

• Price band: 1/4

Brooklyn’s only indie mart constructed of recycled shipping containers launches a new season of handmade delights: Upgrade your wheels with the cycling accessories at Eleanor’s (eleanorsnyc.com), where you’ll find a selection of feminine baskets, bells and hand-painted helmets. Or peruse the refurbished military equipment at Stockpile Designs (stockpiledesigns.com); the label takes items such as vintage bomb tail-fins and casings, and refashions them into lamps and other pieces of furniture. This year, Dekalb Market is also throwing a number of new events, including bike-in movies (The Triplets of Belleville, June 28 at 8pm), disco roller-skating with monthly Down & Derby events (Fri 15 at 6pm) and local bands playing every week.
