SHOPS Astoria Ni gh t Ma rk e t The Astoria Flea & Food Market was a tremendous success last summer, bringing together vendors and patrons in the spacious back lot of the iconic Kaufman Astoria Studios—the only back lot in New York City. This fall, the team behind the LIC Flea will reunite once again to bring Astoria its first night market—all in the same space that plays home to the filming of such blockbuster hits as “Orange is the New Black,” “Nurse Jackie” and “Sesame Street.’’ For three Saturdays in September (Sept. 12, 19 and 26) the city will descend upon Astoria from 6 to 11 p.m. to sample international cuisine and shop through stalls of vintage clothing, works of local artists, children’s products, furniture, jewelry and gifts of every size and shape. Among the anticipated vendors are You are Here Studios, Mister Guacamole, Ciccia Bella, HBH Sandwich, Lumpia Merienda and the Bao Shoppe. Visitors will be able to enter the lot on 36th Street either from 34th Avenue or through the grand entrance on 35th Avenue featuring a 40-foot-high steel gate, designed by David Rockwell and the Rockwell Group. “I’m thrilled to partner with Kaufman Astoria Studios and open their outdoor movie lot to the general public. It will be a fun and family-friendly destination to enjoy the remaining evenings of summer,” said Joshua Schneps, LIC Flea & Food president. “Our first-class flea vendors offer the opportunity to discover unique items to buy and our food vendors serve up delicious eats you can’t find anywhere else.” 50 | BOROMAG.COM | SEPTEMBER 2015 Vendors who are interested in selling at the market can now visit www.LICFlea.com or email [email protected] to apply.
