Enjoy the summer this weekend at the LIC Flea & Food
With the warm weather
continuing throughout the
week, it’s time to get outside
and enjoy the summer at the LIC Flea
& Food (located at 5-25 46th Ave.). Picture
yourself strolling through the
market under a blue sky, a few clouds
fl oating by and fresh breeze coming
from the East River. You can fi nish
your walk in the beer garden area
along the waterfront with a craft beer
and a delicious treat from the dozens of
food vendors. Sounds a lot better than
being stuck inside — AC or not.
At the Flea, there is something for
any taste. Seeking to get yourself
something cute? How about a gorgeous
bracelet from Vivian Jewelry. Try
J’enessence for all-natural, handcraft -
ed body products, like their amazing
coff ee and cinnamon body scrub. Maybe
you are just looking for something
unique and funny? Than check out The
Fishtank Apparel shirts and even golf
balls.
For regular visitors, there is always
something new to discover. New addition
Four the Hard Way will bring
authentic Jamaican fl avor to the LIC
Flea & Food. Think richly fl avored
jerk chicken, delicious oxtail and
tender curry goat. If you are more
about shopping than eating, check
out Potter Aguero and his handmade
impressive pottery for a unique mug
or bowl that will stand out in any
kitchen.
There are plenty of good reasons
to get outside this summer weekend,
so get down to Long Island City and
enjoy the off erings of the LIC Flea &
Food. And for all our wine and sweets
lovers, we have something special.
