The perfect plan for the last weekend in July is a staycation right in Queens at LIC Flea & Food.
Open on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., the LIC Flea offers amazing food, shopping for unique finds and a craft beer and wine garden overlooking the Manhattan skyline.
While everyone is sitting in traffic you can kick back and drink some rosé or a craft brew while dining on chicken, beef or cheese empanadas from Empanada Papa or maybe some fresh oysters from Speedy Oyster Shuckers.

Lavish your body with organic handmade bodycare from J’enessence because you are worth it. Adorn yourself with handcrafted gems from Vivian Jewelry and De Pana Madre. Experience the world at Soly Handcrafts and Proveeartes and so much more.
