The Hell’s Kitchen Flea may be the earliest market to open in the city, along with its sister markets, the Antiques Garage and the West 25th Street Flea Market. I was there before 8AM last Saturday, and even though I am a night owl 100%, I have to admit that it was lovely to be out on a sunny day in the city that early in the morning. The market vendors were setting up and getting ready for a long-awaited sunny weekend.
I spotted these two handsome iron hound dogs along the way. I don’t know how old they are, but they certainly have a nice layer of historical patina on them. They are clearly sight hounds, maybe whippets? I love their beautiful curves and their alert expressions. And those ears!
These fellows may have been snatched up once the market opened. But not to worry. There’s always a treasure to be found in Hell’s Kitchen.
