A new summer shopping market pops up in Greenpoint

There are plenty of weekend shopping markets in NYC. And here's a new one to add to your shopping list: the BFF-themed Greenpoint Summer Market, which is set to debut Sunday, July 20.  RECOMMENDED: Full guide to Greenpoint, Brooklyn Greenpointers.com is hosting the event at the Greenpoint Loft, featuring more than 60 vendors. Look for fragrances from Brooklyn Groove Perfumes, unique jewelry from Acre Goods and desserts from Pie Corps. And because it wouldn't be a Sunday funday without some shopping and a few refreshments, belly up to the bar for Brooklyn Brewery Beer and homemade white sangria. In addition to shopping and food, the market is planning free activities like photo booths, nail art stations and a craft table where you can make friendship bracelets. (See? There's where the BFF theme fits in). Also worth noting: This loft boasts amazing views of Brooklyn and Manhattan, so this might be the only market in the city where the scenery is just as inspiring as the goods for sale.   Greenpoint Summer Market, Greenpoint Loft, 67 West St, fifth floor. July 20 1–7pm.
