Hell's Kitchen Flea Market

Started in 1976 as “penny-jar” investment on an estranged corner lot in Chelsea, entrepreneur Alan Boss marshaled 11 vendors to single-handedly shape the outdoor mecca that became known by treasure hunters worldwide as The Annex Antiques Fair & Flea Market. In 2006, after almost 30 years of outdoor commerce-delight and top-notch haggling, The Annex was displaced by a high-rise residential building. Named one of the Top Ten Shopping Streets in the World by National Geographic, Hell’s Kitchen Flea Marketsets the standard for distinctive vendors, where collectors and top-notch hagglers including the fashion éclat, artists, celebrities, tourists, and residents shop the market for antiques, collectibles, vintage clothing, mid-century modern items–including home decorations and furniture–jewelry, and more.
