LIC Flea & Food gives Long Island City its own relaxed weekend market, pairing a hunt for vintage and handmade finds with a genuinely good food-and-drink lineup and a casual beer garden. It's free to enter, less mobbed than the Brooklyn fleas, and an easy add-on to a day around the LIC waterfront and PS1. Graze, browse and grab a drink in the sun without much of a plan.
What to expect
Expect a mix of vendor stalls selling vintage, crafts and antiques alongside food trucks and a drinks garden, with plenty of room to sit and eat. The vibe is easygoing and local. It runs both weekend days and pairs naturally with nearby PS1 and the waterfront.
