Vintage clothes are great, but our favorite part of the Brooklyn Flea is the food: packaged, prepared, raw, and everything in between. So we were ecstatic when the folks behind the Flea started Smorgasburg, a collection of some of our favorite food vendors, as well as 20 GrowNYC Greenmarket farmers. On the sweet side, there’s Momofuku Milk Bar,Fine & Raw Chocolate — whose treats are so decadent you won’t believe they’re vegan — and Blue Marble Ice Cream. On the savory side, Empire Mayonnaise Co. sells fancy mayo with flavors like Emu Egg and Black Garlic, SlantShack Jerky offers up tasty grass-fed jerky, and Asia Dogslings hot dogs with kimchi. Get there early in the day, grab some grub, and take in the beautiful view of Manhattan; we know that’s what we’re doing, every Saturday from here on out. -Whitney Eden
