LIC Flea is a gateway to weekend getaways
BY BRADLEY HAWKS
If you’re looking for a “destination location,” look no further than LIC Flea & International Food Bazaar.
In a single weekend you, your family and friends can ride the ferry — which docks at the most exciting piers in the city — hop aboard a free air-conditioned shuttle, do some shopping, grab an icy dish of sorbet or hand-shaken lemonade with fresh berries and mint, take an afternoon river kayaking trip, create art in an outdoor sculpture garden, share an artisan pizza or devour sliders from an old-fashioned barbecue smoker, take a stroll through the park and pose for photos under an iconic billboard overlooking the city’s skyline.
