Travel Tips

One of the many options available in the city on the weekend is to hit the flee markets. They are every where (just like street fairs seem to be). In our area we venture up to 28th Street and 6th Avenue.

There are two markets. One is the "free" market (as in no entrance cost) and the other one charges a buck to get in (not included in $20 cap). So we hit the free one first and then crossed the street to try our luck at the pay to get in version.

Jeannine has her own set of rules associated with going to the flee market. We each get $20 to spend anyway we want. No more and bargaining is expected!

So what about Marc?!

Well let's just say I wasn't as good @ this as Jeannine. This was my first real trip to the flee markets so know I have a better sense of what I should be looking for and what my $20 will buy me.

This time we stopped in at Barnes & Noble on the walk back to the apartment and I picked up a copy of the latest Wired Magazine. Price- $4.95
