Best Outdoor Spot: Flea-dom

The Brooklyn flea market is still a fun (sort of) city escape.  After trolling for vintage jewelry finds (a certain diehard likes to keep her sources secret!) shop for your Sunday night dinner party dessert menu.  Pick up Fine & Raw raw chocolate ice cream or Julie Tran’s red velvet cake balls (she works at the Met Museum Library during the week!)  Another summertime Brooklyn standout: The Prospect Park Summer Soiree at the Boathouse (above) co-chaired by Vogue’s Sally Singer, Florence Kane and Jane Herman.
