Dekalb Market – Brooklyn

Coming off the Q train at Dekalb Avenue in Brooklyn, I stumbled upon the super-cute Dekalb Market.  How had this place managed to hide from me all this time??

The market, open year-round, with exception of January, February and March, features only small local businesses: food shops, jewelry and clothing boutiques and more!  It also has a beer garden and DJ.

 

This is one of the two dozen or so vendors in Dekalb Market.  Some vendors were set up in tents…

And some had pop-up stores in salvaged shipping containers like these.

I am a sucker for cupcakes.  This key lime cupcake from Robicelli’s was amazing.

Fudge sea salt brownie, also from Robicelli’s.  I wanted 10, but I just stuck to 1.

My favorite thing about Dekalb Market was the jewelry selection.  For a funky accessory-aholic like myself, this was heaven.  Most of the pieces were handmade, sold by the jewelry maker him or herself.  I wanted one of everything, but I ended up snagging these feather earrings.

Upcoming: DM is having a Fashion’s Night Out event Thursday, September 8 from 6-11pm, featuring one-hour open bar, fashion show, and vendor specials all night.

Check out Dekalb Market if you’re in the area.  In the meanwhile you can get additional information at: www.dekalbmarket.com
