Is One Hanson Place outshine the flea?

I tend to think that the place is so gorgeous that some better stuff should be presented there. What do you think/

i sold there yesterday and i didn't get to walk around much. i think there's a lot of vintage, possibly too much if only in an aesthetic way. i'd love more artists and artisan food tables. basically the same vendors as in the fort greene flea. heat would have been nice!

I acutally really enjoyed all of the vintage stuff most. I don't think there are enough venues for that kind of stuff in the city. As for the new stuff, I'm kind of tired of seeint the same artists at Bust Craftacular are at Score! at 3rd Ward are at Handmade Cavalcade are on Etsy. A lot of them are good, but I'm recognizing the same 10 sellers everywhere. Overall I found the shopping to be balanced - loved the iron work near the entry on the first floor and the vintage stuff near the vault on the first floor.
What I found 'lacking' was the food - it smelled like grossness down there and I think there could have been a few more interesting options. And while neighborhood based organizations might not each need a table, it would be nice to see more of that represented at one table.

and the bank was beautiful, but it was hard to shop with so many people standing around to take pictures of the vault or the molding or scoping it out for future events...'we could totally have enough dance space here...'
