This vintage market is a total treasure trove!…read more There is no better cure for the Sunday scaries then perusing trinkets with your besties in the South End. This market was stacked with jewelry, prints, clothing, cameras, vinyls, and so much more. The layout is a little overwhelming and hard to navigate with large influxes of shoppers, however, it does force you to stay put a bit and do a bit more digging in sections. The staff was super friendly, especially the gentlemen who checked me out. I ended up going with this $10 Charlie Brown coloring book page from the 60s which is a great deal!

I came here on a Sunday with my friend. We initially thought they were only open while the other…read morewinter markets were but there's a sign that said they're open every Sunday all year long. My friend is an avid thrifter and she immediately knew this store was legit. A lot of stores claim to be thrifty and vintage but sell mass produced clothing brands. This one had very unique pieces, the items were priced fairly, and among the chaos, there was some order to where things were placed. Some of the sections belong to different people so definitely make your way around the entire store. The staff is very knowledgable and friendly. I could spend hours here, but we had other things on our agenda so we window shopped for a bit, but will eventually be back to purchase some items.

As others have said, it's a little on the small side, and some items are a little pricey, but…read morebeyond that...great experience. Fav part was how friendly and helpful vendors were. I def found some cool stuff, they have a little bit of everything from vintage clothes, handmade items, food, and antiques. I also love the location and that it's open almost every Sunday.

There was some good stuff here, and I enjoyed walking around the booths. The fresh vegetables and…read morefruit were a big draw and I munched on blueberries while I looked around. The booths were a good variety of items, one carrying plants, couple with furniture, couple with clothes, couple with trinkets. Parking was easy. My only complaint is that it was rather small. There was about 15 booths, so we made our way through pretty quickly.

Finally checked this place out and I've never seen anything quite like it. There are 5 floors of…read morevintage/antique knickknacks, furniture, art, jewelry, clothing, etc. in this old building. There is a parking lot but it's quite small. There are different booths and each one is labeled with any sales that might be going on, but there aren't many staff members, so it was kind of difficult to shop. There are a lot of items that are locked in cabinets and you would presumably have to grab someone from the first floor to unlock it if you wanted to have a closer look. I wasn't trying to spend a ton anyways and am usually happy just browsing, so I just got a small ceramic cup that wasn't locked in anything. There was a booth on the first floor selling fine jewelry and tennis bracelets that were gorgeous but out of my price range. There were a ton of eclectic interesting things here, some kind of grimy and some in pristine condition--truly a one man's trash is another's treasure sort of place. I would definitely come again to browse.

There are plenty of staff available at any given time to assist, I purchased a set of MCM side tables and the staff was happy to assist me with bringing them up from the basement for checkout.

Checking out the beautiful city while making our way to this marketplace. The market is fun. There's vendors outside selling souvenirs, treats and sports merch. Inside were food vendors. We were still full from our breakfast so unfortunately we weren't able to check out the food that was available. Such a bummer cause I'm sure there was plenty of fun options available! I'm always down to try the local fare! From what we did see outside, it's a lot of the same stuff in the stores in the strip. I really love the concept of this place. Food, treasures and vibes. My daughter and I were fortunate enough to check out vibe and treasures. And it was fun! I'm happy we got to peep this place out. I don't know when we'll be back but I'll recommend this location to any of my friends coming here.

It was so nice to spend time in our son's friends studio and see how the artist created his works, displayed them and greeted all of the visitors. Each studio was unique and impressive. This visit was 10/3, but I am eager to return again in the early spring to explore further. I will say, while most artists and shop people were friendly, a few were a bit standoffish. Maybe it is exhausting hosting so many people who are flowing through all day & evening. I loved the whole concept !

I came by to buy groceries from H-Mart but instead was surprised to see a bustling new area with pop-up stores and live singing. It looked like there were a lot of local artists selling purses, clothing, and small crafts. While there weren't that many vendors on a Saturday afternoon (maybe five to seven), I was happy to see that plenty of customers were walking around and enjoying the music. I think Starlight has a lot of potential. I'm excited to see how the Central Square Farmers Market is incorporated into this space and whether this'll continue into the winter.
