Bronx’s Vintage Market Hunts in Soundview

Soundview rummaged last night with the Bronx’s Vintage Market, digging NYC’s spring at a Bruckner lot. Curator Mia Chen hawked vinyl as 300 shopped, a $5 ticket grab of retro loot. It’s borough finds—pure BX vibe, bins hot. A kid nabbed a 45; a pro scored a lamp. ‘Bronx digs—this is it,’ Chen says, flipping records. The stalls turned time capsule.

The market’s fresh—March 31’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing rows by noon. Chen’s a Mott Haven picker; last night’s crowd hit max—cash buzzed. A latecomer nabbed a spot; dust flew—NYC grit glowed. Runs one day—past ruled. #BronxVintage trended; Queens wants a crate.

Some griped—’Too packed,’ sniped a newbie, dodging elbows. Wind flicked—tables held; finds rolled. A rival’s pitching a Fordham haul, splitting bins. Still, 400 stayed—treasures reigned. Soundview’s never hunted so bold.

Chen’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a night sale if spring bites. ‘NYC’s past—this pulls it,’ she says, packing wares. The market’s a Bronx win—grit meets old. It’s a vintage rush; catch the next. Bring a bag—deals call.
