Brand-new season starts at LIC Flea & Food
48 MAY 2 0 1 8
LIC Flea & Food and Astoria
Flea & Food return for
their sixth season during
the weekend of
May 12-13. The markets
will be open twice a month,
with one weekend monthly
at LIC Flea (Saturdays and
Sundays from 11 a.m. to
6 p.m.) and one weekend
monthly at Astoria Flea, located
in the back lot of Kaufman
Astoria Studios (Saturday nights from
6 p.m. to midnight and Sundays from 11 a.m.
to 6 p.m.).
At both markets this year, you will find
a carefully curated mix of artisan, global
food, local craft beer and vintage on the
scheduled weekends beginning in May and
ending in October. Among the returning
mainstays of previous markets include Don
Ceviche, Down East Lobstah, Coney Shack
and Empanada Papa.
Don Ceviche offers a delicious taste of
Peru made fresh on site. If you’re craving a
lobster roll – warm or cold – Gina from Down
East will make you one of the best outside of
Maine. At Coney Shack, you can choose from
their amazing array of Southeast Asian tacos.
Empanada Papa has mouthwatering chicken,
beef and cheese empanadas for sale.
New to the market this year is Momo Valley,
bringing authentic Nepalese dumplings
that taste like they are straight from the Himalayas.
San Antonio’s Wood Fired Pizza is
also making its debut at the Flea, with their
artisanal pizzas made with fresh mozzarella
right in front of you.
If you’re in the mood for something sweet,
stop by Delicacy Brigadeiros Craft for authentic
Brazilian “brigadeiros” truffles!
Brigadeiro is Brazilian's most
traditional sweet treat, known
in the United States as Brazilian
truffles. They are
originally made with condensed
milk, chocolate
and butter.
Vegans can also check
out Vegan Sweets, a NYCbased
vegan company whose
goal is to make the best tasting
product imaginable. Being vegan
themselves, the owners make treats that will
truly satisfy your sweet cravings.
