Saturday night, pouring rain, we ran across the street to the Gotham Market at The Ashland, a tony food hall located in the first floor of an upscale apartment building. Decor is all exposed bricks and industrial metal, pretty much what you would expect. The food hall has several food court style restaurants - place an order and receive a numbered table stand and the food is brought to you. Restaurants include Apizza Reginale, Bar Granger, Flip Bird, The Crabby Shack, Mason Jar, and a sit down branch of Boqueria. The pizza at Apizza was solid, about the level of Pete's Apizza in DC. Bar Granger had a decent selection of local brews on tap. The fried pickle chips from Mason Jar went down easily. Gotham Market has a sister location, Gotham West Market in Manhattan. -
The Brooklyn Flea people run several weekend flea markets. Fort Greene is the original flagship location, located at Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School's 40,000 sq-foot schoolyard. Although Smorgasburg is probably their more well known operation. The Fort Greene flea is a mix of junk, repurposed, vintage, and newly crafted artisan stalls, jammed with hipsters, tourists, and folks from the neighborhood. But let's not forget about the food. Come ready to eat. The side of the market closest to the school is a street foodway, with vendors selling tacos, pupusas, dosa, sausages (Brooklyn Bangers), porcetta sandwiches (Porcetta), grilled cheese (Milk Truck Grilled Cheese), fresh made soda (Brooklyn Soda Works), even made-to-order wood-fired pizza (Pizza Moto). Down the middle of the flea market are several bakery, donut, chocolate, cookie/baked goods type stalls...plenty of free samples. Definitely worth a good walk about.
