Try all the cool flavors froM Brooklyn Floss at the 2015 Grub Street Food Festival on Sunday
This weekend is chock full of fantastic markets! That’s another reason why Fall is one of my favorite times of year. (Markets and sweaters are the two reasons, to be clear.) Don’t miss the annual Grub Street Festival on Sunday. Last year, I tried Brooklyn Floss, and they’re back again this year. Their fluffy clouds of cotton candy make everyone smile.

Food Truck Rally: This is your final chance this year to catch your favorite food trucks all in Grand Army Plaza. Participating trucks will include DUB Pies, Kelvin Natural Slush Co, Carpe Donut NYC, Toum, Kimchi Taco Truck, Neapolitan Express, Coolhaus, The Taïm Mobile, Snowday, Red Hook Lobster Pound, Brooklyn Organic Coffee & Tea Truck, Papaya King, Nuchas II, Milk Truck, Phil’s Steaks, Ponti Roissi, Gorilla Cheese NYC, Andy’s Italian Ices, and Carl’s Steaks. They may not all be there, as the mix varies each weekend. But you’ll be fine. 11AM – 5PM, Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn
Grub Street Food Festival: My favorite part of this fabulous annual food extravaganza is listening to the crowd. People talk with friends about something wonderful they just ate, and it’s the best way to find new and delicious things among over 75 food vendors there. The other best strategy is to just go and eat everything you see. 11AM – 5PM, Corner of Hester and Essex Streets, Manhattan
Morbid Anatomy Flea Market: I am so thrilled that word has gotten out about this truly unique market. It has been in the Bell House for a while now because the crowds were too big to fit in the museum venue. So get there early, and be prepared to be surprised by the creepy cool stuff you find. 11AM – 6PM, The Bell House, 149 7th Street, Brooklyn
Vendy Plaza: There are only a few Sundays left in the season before this wonderful market of food entrepreneurs closes on November 1. This venue is a fabulous place to try foods from both successful businesses and startups that will likely be next season’s super stars. This weekend is also Oktoberfest, with a 2-for-1 beer special! 12PM – 6PM, La Marqueta Plaza, 1590 Park Avenue, Manhattan
