When the weather complies, there is nothing better than admiring gorgeous city views, soaking up the sun and participating in some outdoor dining. (We see you, Smorgasburg.) When we’re not stuffing our faces in the open-air, we also enjoying shopping alfresco at one of the city’s best flea markets or a vehicle-free street fair.
Lucky for us, markets such as Hester Street Fair allow us to enjoy the perks of both. The long-awaited flea, which reopens for its eighth season this Saturday (April 15), kicks things off with $3 Bronx Banner Ales, live jams led by musical director Tom of England, an amazing spread of food vendors as well as design, art, craft and vintage merchants.
The Lower East Side hot-spot is most notorious for its wide-selection of finger-lickin' eats, so get pumped for returning vendors such as Macaron Parlour, Osaka Grub, Don Don NY, CMYLOOK and more.

New bites such as slammin’ bento boxes from NYture Natto x Chiso and sips from Pilot Kombucha are also a must. You can expect to shop from new artists and creators selling their sweet merchandise—think Vibe’s gorgeous gemstone necklaces—as well.
