Inside Scoop: Annex Markets

Vintage enthusiasts seeking rare treasures from yesteryear should explore the weekend antique and flea market Annex Markets hosts in Chelsea. The market has been in operation since 1976 and is open year-round (weather permitting), offering an array of fascinating antiques, furnishings, and décor, as well as vintage clothing, ephemera, and decorative arts. The market's dealers lure many of New York's style elite—expect to see stylists, designers, and artists among the customers.

Evoking the vibe of the original Annex Antiques Fair & Flea Market, Chelsea Flea Market sits in the shadow of the Cathedral of St. Sava. Here, savvy dealers and equally savvy shoppers peddle, haggle, scout merchandise, and mingle. The market boasts up to 135 vendors who sell a wide range of collectibles, including Art Deco and mid-century modern items. The market, which is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 6:30am to 7pm, is on the uptown side of West 25th Street between Sixth Avenue and Broadway. It's in close proximity to the Flatiron Building and the Italian food space Eataly.
