The Best Flea Markets in New York City!

I am an avid antique and vintage furniture collector and reseller. I have decided to provide a list of New York City's Best Flea Markets where you can find almost everything, including the kitchen sink. Last year I had a very unique and intresting client from the U.K.. They more or less gave me the keys to the loft, what they were looking for, and a substantial payment to cover materials and my services. I purchased 90% of the household furnishings from the below listed flea markets at less than a quarter of what they paid me. Upon their return I explained my findings and went to return the balance for the materials, but they were so pleased that they felt it was worth every penny they had initially paid me. Now if I purchased these goods at Vintage and antique stores I wouldn't have been able to get what I got. Whether you are on a hunt for some new digs for your nest, or just like being a flea I strongly suggest the below listed marets. Good luck, and please list any good finds.

Hells Kitchen Flea Market Rocks!!!!!

I know myself and many other city dwellers enjoy a good flea market and the search for that unfound treasure. I know my fair share about antiques and will find a steal every now and again. However, some of these flea markets are like dollar stores selling all new stuff, mostly junk! I want the old stuff, the letters from a war veteran writing his wife to be during the first world war, or a few original black and white photos. The BEST "REAL" flea market I found so far is the one in Hells Kitchen. Have you been there? If so, share your experience. Anyway here is a little info to help you find it. There is always tons of great decor for your palace.
