The flea market for the well heeled. Antique furniture, vintage jeans, furs, costume jewelry, linens, cameras, records and assorted what have you. Mingle with supermodels, hipsters and creative types. Every weekend, rain or shine, dealers from the tristate (that's New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) area converge in Chelsea to hawk their wares. Prices are steep by flea standards but be sure to haggle; if you come back at 5p chances are the dealer will give you a better price to avoid hauling the item back in his truck. Other Chelsea Flea market staples are African furniture and knick-knacks, Tibetan jewelry and art deco lamps. The section of the market on the East side of 6th Avenue at 25th Street charges a $1 entrance fee. Shopper's Note: Part of Chelsea's markets have been lost to new building sites and construction projects.
