Vegan Flea Market Finds

In celebration of finishing grad school I hit up not one, but TWO flea markets on Saturday. This weekend the Brooklyn Lyceum was hosting a craft fair. While I didn't end up buying any crafts, I did partake in a lovely vegan cherry danish. I honestly don't think I've had a danish the the past couple years, so I was excited to try this vegan version. When I ordered my danish the women asked if I needed it wrapped up, and I was like "No, I'm having it now." She appreciated my enthusiasm. So I want to give a little press to bakesalery for satisfying my pastry craving. If you're interested, their goods are available at various flea markets or on etsy.

Once I was done at the Lyceum craft fair, I went to visit my old friend the Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene. I hadn't been there since last summer, so a return to this outdoor flea was a great way to greet the return of summer. At Brooklyn Yard last year I made the acquaintance of Asia Dog: asian inspired hot dog creations. I was definitely excited to run into them at the flea on Saturday. While they are not all vegan, they do have great options. My favorite has been The Mash: jalapeno ketchup, spicy mustard, and potato chip crumbles on a veggie dog. Yum. They also got a shout out this week on New York Mag's approval matrix. A little lowbrow but brilliant.

In other news I almost jumped up and down for joy this morning at the food coop when I saw that they just started carrying the previously unavailable daiya cheese shreds. Hooray!
