Today I met Rick Bowes and Kaaron Warren and her family to check out The Garage fleamarket on 25th street. Kaaron and I barely made it through the top floor. There are two floors and we started with the top one--Rick was out and back again twice before we were done. K's family went to the children's museum and were to meet us later for lunch.
Ok, so what did I pick up?
A vintage Mickey Mouse watch (on time even now, several hours after it was wound at the fleamarket), a large (very heavy) vintage iron that's a strange shape--narrower and longer than those I've usually seen), and a couple of amber colored little bottles. I saw lots of lovely Chinese stuff I'll go back for when I start my serious Xmas shopping.
Kaaron brought me some cannibal forks.
Here's what they can look like --the ones she gave me are different but you can get the idea from this photo and article
cannibal fork
We met the family around 3:30 and ate a quick late lunch/early dinner at the Heartland Brewery on Union Square. We'd hoped to eat at Chat n Chew--I thought it would be fun for kids, but it was way too crowded and I didn't think we'd get served quickly enough for a non-nervewracking meal. They had to catch a train back to NJ.

What you'd really love, though, is Buenos Aires: the San Telmo flea market, etc. For instance, here's a photo of the window of a store you'd like:

As for the cannibal forks; if Ellen starts biting her tongue at you during dinner, watch out! That means she thinks you look tasty.

Not sure, is it online? I can check it out.

Unfortunately the first 2:30 minutes are just instrumental, a little boring to me, but it gets better after that.
