The Market at the End of the World – BKCC’s Shop the Arch

If the world ended today, I figured a) I might as well go strolling through a lovely market with James, and b) if I’m underneath a huge concrete archway tucked in a corner of Brooklyn, maybe all the fuss would simply pass us by. Fortunately, at least in my book, the world is still here. And happily, Brooklyn Craft Central’s Shop the Arch was a wonderful market in a groovy, airy, rain-proof location under the Manhattan Bridge. I could tell you lots of stories of wonderful pe

Lisa Bracigliano is the pastry chef and owner of The Chocolate Swirl. She is a graduat

Spend A Tasty Afternoon at the Bed Stuy Fly Market

My first clue about the nature of the Bed Stuy Fly Market was its name, a play on the term “flea market,” with a bit of the retro sense of the word “fly” and all the coolness that it implies. And trust me when I say that the name is right on. Sponsored by Gather Brooklyn, the Bed Stuy Fly Market opened the first Sunday in August on Lewis Avenue at Decatur Street in Brooklyn. I spent the afternoon there last Sunday, and I see a promising future for this market. Granted, it
