"Brooklyn Flea will take place every Sunday from 10am to 5pm—rain or shine—starting April 6, 2008, at Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, on 176 Lafayette Ave. between Clermont and Vanderbilt Ave. The Flea will feature 200 vendors of vintage furniture, clothing and antiques alongside new designs by local makers of everything from jewelry to textiles.

New Fort Greene Blog

It seems our neighbors to the East have got themselves quite the blog. One recent posting caught my eye. Being a lover of the Java, I was thrilled to see a listing of the local coffee shops. Although, it's much more detailed than just a listing. General Greene lists the specialties of each joint, prices and a separate map of all the shops (just in case you'd like to spend the day overdosing on caffeine).
