Hot on the heels of a new Chelsea restaurant, Smorgasburg and its sister Brooklyn Flea are continuing their quest for citywide domination with two new markets in West Soho. The first, opening Saturday, will be a “permanent” location of Brooklyn Flea, inside of an 89-year-old Art Deco building at 100 Avenue of the Americas. According to an announcement sent out today, Brooklyn Flea Soho “will occupy the 13,000 square-foot ground-floor indoor space with 60 vendors for at least the next two years, year-round, on weekends only to start.” This should give veteran vendors and newbs alike more to do in the wake of Williamsburg Flea’s closure.
Next month, Smorgasburg will take over a vacant lot at 76 Varick Street, at Canal. The outdoor lot, right across from the new Flea (and the forthcoming Jackie Robinson Museum), recently became a village of geodesic domes when National Geographic staged an activation there. No word on whether domes will also be used to house the vendors– dare to dream! We know only that seven of them will be stationed here on weekdays and 20 of them on weekends. As with the now defunct Seaport Smorgasburg, there’ll be a full bar.
