The dealers arrive at dawn, and so should you
Most New York flea markets run at weekends only, and several are seasonal or move from year to year, so confirm the current day and address before going. The real finds disappear early: dealers and designers work the stalls in the first hour, and by early afternoon you are looking at what they passed on. Bring cash for smaller sellers, and expect to haggle gently on vintage but not on food.
