Dumbo bargained last night with Brooklyn’s Flea Market, thriving on NYC’s spring April 12. Vendor Liam Carter hawked vinyl as 400 shopped, a free sprawl under the bridge. It’s borough deals—pure BK vibe, stalls hot. A kid nabbed a tee; a pro scored a lamp. ‘Brooklyn hunts—this is it,’ Carter says, counting cash. The streets turned bazaar.
The market’s fresh—April 12’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing rows by noon. Carter’s a Williamsburg picker; last night’s crowd hit max—deals flew. A latecomer nabbed a spot; dust swirled—NYC grit glowed. Stalls hit 30—finds ruled. #BKFlea trended; Queens wants a crate.
Some griped—’Too crowded,’ sniped a shopper, dodging elbows. A table tipped—fixed quick; hustle held. A rival’s pitching a Greenpoint swap, splitting vendors. Still, 500 stayed—bargains reigned. Dumbo’s never hustled so bold.
Carter’s teasing a weekly run, maybe a night market if spring bites. ‘NYC’s deals—this drives ‘em,’ he says, packing wares. The market’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets score. It’s a flea rush; catch the next. Bring cash—stalls call.
