CROWN HEIGHTS — Beginning in November, popular market Brooklyn Flea and food bazaar Smorgasburg will move to Crown Heights, opening for the winter season next to the newly opened beer hall Berg’n, its owner said.
The two markets will be located inside 1000 Dean St., the 140,000-square-foot former Studebaker service station that Flea co-founder and Berg’n proprietor Jonathan Butler turned into office space last year. That building is connected by a passageway to 899 Bergen St., where the 9,000-square-foot beer hall and food court Berg’n opened in August between Classon and Franklin avenues.
Berg’n was co-created by Butler and business partner Eric Demby, both of whom created the Brooklyn Flea in 2008 and Smorgasburg in 2011.
The move, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, will join Smorgasburg vendors with four eateries already operating inside Berg’n — Mighty Quinn’s BBQ, Pizza Moto, Asia Dog and Ramen Burger — all of which sell their sandwiches, pizzas, hot dogs and burgers at the summertime Williamsburg food market.
