A friend and I recently returned to the Rose Bowl flea market after more than a decade. I used to…read moredo a lot of Thrifting, but slowed down once I started shopping online on eBay, Etsy, Poshmark, and similar sites. It does not match the thrill of seeing things firsthand, but definitely saves time. We did not go super early in the morning when they probably had the best stuff because neither of us were looking for anything specific. Just wanted to check it out. There is definitely a large amount of vintage clothes, furniture, housewares, and other collectibles. There are a couple of plant stalls, although we only checked out one. It is awesome. That real bathrooms are available as opposed to ports potties. There is a small food court and a couple of food and drinks stands throughout although the selection isn't super gourmet. I believe the coffee was well over $10 a cup and that is for iced coffee, not cold brew. I don't think there were any espresso drinks. It can get quite hot walking around in the parking lot so I would suggest dressing accordingly. I noticed several people brought little carts to carry their purchases. The parking is free, but there is a lot of walking so you would have to carry your purchases a long way if you do not have a cart.

A lot of the same vendors that frequent Long Beach and Topanga along with the Rose Bowl. I've found this and Long Beach to be fun all day treks. Seem to always find better odds and ends in the garage. There's a secondary area for vendors across the tennis courts a short walk either along the sidewalk or behind the tennis courts.

There are vendors that sell the same things you find at every open air market such as cheap jewelry and resellers of online products. But there are some unique and true vintage items you just have to know your stuff and look. There are food and drink vendors on site, getting a large cup of refreshing cucumber lemonade to walk around with is the best.

I guess they call this place Little Tokyo Galleria. Came here for the My Melody Bday event last…read moreweekend. Around 20 vendors selling anything from Sanrio keychains to vintage items. They also had a few tattoo vendors that will give you one on the spot. They also have a few stores around the area. Didn't buy anything from the vendors at the flea market but did buy a matcha bowl and whiskey holder for a really good price along with a sun hat at one of the stores inside the galleria. Will certainly be back, they validate parking too. That's always cool. Lost a star because they didn't really have much restaurants or places to eat or grab a snack. They also have an Asian market/grocery store, so if you want to grab groceries after checking the flea market, that's convenient.

It is incredibly crowded for such a small market. There are vendors selling clothing, cameras, random knickknacks, handmade art, and tattoo stations. Yes, you can sit in a chair and get a tattoo at this flea market. People are getting tattoos here. I bought an adorable handmade little cat made out of pipe cleaners for $12.99 from someone who will make customized pieces. From another vendor on the other side, I bought a handmade clay ring of a black cat face for $25.00. She makes the cutest little clay art. So small. Pieces smaller than half an inch tall. Too CUTE! Needless to say, she had the largest crowd congregating around her table and buying up her display. The customer ahead of me in line got the free tote bag with purchase because she spent so much. I got a free magnet with my purchase. Parking: Metered and free two hour street parking.

The Los Feliz Flea sale is a medium sized affair in the parking lot/exterior space of Our Mother of…read moreGood Counsel School/Church. Unlike most flea markets, this felt more like a craft fair and less like an affair where you rifle through junk looking for a gem. That is to say: there is a combination of different merchants. Some are selling genuine vintage/antique clothing, records, decor and others are selling their personal ceramics, picture frames and more. It's an interesting combination but I would caution that this is NOT a flea market where you can find an armful of treasure for five bucks. The flea market hosts a number of food and beverage purveyors so you can easily get a snack while you peruse what's on offer. But the VERY best thing about this flea market: TONS of free parking in the back of school.

We found Los Feliz Flea Market while searching for something to do while in the LA Chinatown area…read more I was actually surprised that I had not known about it sooner. Runs every Saturday -- free parking and free admission -- yay! We arrived around 1pm -- parking was busy but we didn't find it hard to find a spot. Vendors were upstairs and downstairs in the same structure. We started downstairs. The layout is clean and spacious. I appreciated the cute signs that direct you to each floor. Although the rooftop was hot, there were umbrellas along the walkway and some shaded table seating next to the food/drink vendors. The vendors we met were all so nice and willing to negotiate. Downstairs I found a vintage blouse and was somehow convinced that I needed a winter cardigan. The seller gave me a deal I couldn't refuse! Upstairs my husband bought two vintage shirts to add to his collection. It was then time for a break -- the FYMBAS Matcha Latte and Strawberry Cola Slush were perfectly refreshing. We'll be back. :)
