You've been to Smorgasburg (if you haven't, don't admit it).
You've probably also been to LIC Flea & Food, and Fort Greene Flea. These are all great, and every activity where people come together to grub is always a blast.
But if you live in Upper Manhattan, you've been down and out without a flea market for far too long.
Vendy Plaza at La Marqueta, East Harlem's dopest culinary delight, is here with your answer.
It's been going on since May. Yes.

A full three months have gone by since it opened, and the next two Sundays are your last chances to get a taste.
Open this Sunday and next from noon until 6 p.m., Vendy Plaza brings together Vendy Award finalists and customers together in food happiness, with other pleasantries like live music, kitchen demos, and even a wide range of pale ales from the Bronx Brewery.
The best part? This food, beer, and music festival is free and open to the public. It's located on Park Avenue between 115 and 116 Streets, and its food vendors include Carnitas El Atoradero, Walking Dog BBQ, Hot Bread Kitchen, and lots more.
hiddengemofnyc Discovered a food market with authentic Spanish food last weekend! The food market is a nonprofit project by @vendyawards. They invite food vendors to share their passion for food with no charge. Therefore, the food in the market is very affordable! And best of all, it builds a great community. Great music, friendly environment and really authentic/delicious food! Open to public every Sunday. Check it out if you have a chance. 🍴🍗🍖🍝🍛🍤🍹 Thanks for the tip @createnyc. | #hiddengemofnyc
So if you love food, beer and fun, make sure you make it out to Vendy Plaza this weekend.
If you love what they've got to offer, get yourself to the Vendy Awards on Governor's Island on September 12th and enjoy even more culinary delights.
