The thrill of the hunt is on.

Warmer days are here, so it’s time to shop outside. Rather than heading into a chain store, do your fellow New Yorkers a solid and stop by their flea market tents. Vendors have everything you could possibly need, from records to furniture and from clothes to food — and often at lower prices.

So take some cash out (or your credit card), get your haggling skills ready and have a bag to carry back all your new treasures — we’re going shopping.
