Warm spring weather is finally on the horizon, and there’s no better way to spend a weekend than at the LIC Flea & Food Market.
You can enjoy exploring global vendors with local flavor and sipping on cold brews in the craft beer garden.
Stop by Oaxaca Taqueria’s stand for an authentic bite from one of Mexico’s top food cities. They’ve dedicated themselves to bringing traditional Mexican fare inspired by the flavors and ingredients of Oaxaca to the people of NYC. They are not to be missed!
Another can’t-miss vendor is Proveeartes, which offers incredibly beautiful handmade satchels from Colombia. These vibrant bags are made from natural fibers and are great for loading up your finds at the flea.
You can fill these bags with some of J’ennesence’s all-natural and organic skincare. Their products are designed to be as gentle on your skin as possible while still allowing you the most luxurious bath experience.
All that shopping can really work up an appetite, and you can grab a bite of delicious Indian cuisine from Anita’s Catering. The chef explores how Indian food varies immensely from region to region so you’re in for a treat as you explore new flavors.
The LIC Flea has already been open a full month, and a number of special events are right around the corner. Plan ahead and grab tickets to attend a host of beer festivals, taco take-downs, wine events and more while the prices are still low!
The LIC Flea market is open each Saturday and Sunday through October from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. It’s located at 5-25 46th Ave., at the corner of Fifth Street and 46th Avenue, in Long Island City — a short walk from the Court Square subway station and the East River Ferry.
