18th May 2016 at 10:20One of the nicest flea markets in Manhattan, the East 67th street market is an indoor and outdoor market when the weather permits. It attracts some great vintage and antiques sellers. I like the variety, and I like to talk to the vendors and the shoppers about the objects on the tables. You’ll also find farm fresh produce outside in season, as well as food to eat while you shop and stroll. I’ve found some real treasures here, not to mention historical artifacts.

If you’re here visiting, its a bit out of the way from other places you may want to visit so I’d put this at the bottom of your list, especially in the winter. If you are looking for jewelry, this might be for you but otherwise skip it. I don’t know jewelry enough to know if it was worth it even then. It felt more garage sale than vintage flea.
