Pressed for Time: The M.A.R.T.E.

June 5 & 6, P.S. 63 William McKinley School, 121 E. 3rd St. (betw. 1st Ave. & Ave. A), www.themarte.com; 10 a.m.-5, Free.

Gone are the days of roaming the flea market on Avenue A and finding vintage T-shirts, old records and the guys from Interpol sulking on a Sunday afternoon. Starting this weekend, though, we’ve got the M.A.R.T.E., a weekend market featuring clothing from designer Jackie Hates You, customized housewares from Lightexture, snacks from Georgia’s Eastside BBQ and Eton and plenty more. And there’s no buyer’s remorse since it’s also a fundraiser for the school that’s hosting it.

Bottom Line: We’d recommend going even if our parent company wasn’t sponsoring it.
