Smorgasburg Founders Consolidate Their Empire, Bringing the Flea to Crown Heights for the Winter

The Brooklyn Flea and Smorgasburg are packing up and relocating to Crown Heights this winter. Starting the weekend of November 8 Jonathan Butler and Eric Demby tell us they will move a version of the Flea and Smorgasburg from last year's Williamsburg home into a roomy 30,000-square-foot space at 1000 Dean Street, around the corner from Berg'n, their brand new beer and food hall. "The setup will be somewhat similar to our winter market last year in W'burg, just a different location — albeit a far more pleasant one," says Demby. The market will operate with 100+ vendors on the weekends through next March.
