| GreenFlea is celebrating its 25th anniversary! | ||
| Don't forget to visit the very lively indoor market. Lots of great antiques and collectibles. | ||
GreenFlea has been operating for more than 25 years on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. It was among the first open air markets in the city. Combining both antique/vintage collectibles and new handcrafted items, it is a ideal place to look for something different to give or to keep. You'll find wonderful things at reasonable prices -- most of them not available anywhere else. Some of the handcrafters at the market will also offer custom-made merchandise, from jewelry to furniture to clothing. The vendors take pride in helping shoppers find just what they're looking for. Bring the family -- there is something for everyone. |

| And some of the regular vendors and their wares | ||
 |
 |
 |
| These charming American decorative objects are among many sold by Good Olde Things. Look for them at the corner of 77th & Columbus Ave. on the front fence. Check out their tin bordered mirrors. | AC Agates has been offering beautiful handcrafted necklaces, bracelets, and earrings for years. Many include agates and other natural stones. In the middle of the yard in row C. | Karma Bhutia is constantly looking for truly gorgeous scarves and wraps from Tibet, Nepal, and India. The selection changes with the seasons. Just a few steps from the gate on Columbus Ave. |
| Visit the GreenFlea food section -- prepared gourmet food vendors | ||
| Within the flea market itself (just inside the gate on W. 77th St.), you will also find some gourmet food providers: a specialty baker offering cookies and desserts for people with food allergies, a fresh mozzarella and seafood specialty vendor (who also carries Balthazar breads), a caterer who offers wonderful savory quiches and turnovers, and a vendor selling fabulous pickles, olives and other condiments. Not located in the food section but within the market itself is a spice and tea vendor that will make it seem that you are shopping at a marche in gay Paree! There are also fabulous Greek-style pastries and savories sold by another vendor. You can shop and pick up your lunch or dinner on the way out of the market. | ||
