Culinary Mastermind of the Brooklyn Flea
Eric Demby is a co-founder of the Brooklyn Flea, overseeing the market’s brand, daily operations, and curating of vendors as it has grown to become New York City’s largest public market. The Flea has been named one of the best markets in the U.S. and world by Country Living, Budget Travel, and Delta’s Sky, and The New York Times called it “One of the great urban experiences in New York.” Eric served as Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz’s communications director and speechwriter from 2003 to 2007, and worked as a journalist covering art, music, architecture, and politics from 1995 to 2007. He has been active in New York City community-building for more than a decade, including the movement to legalize dancing and helping create an ice-cream parlor in Rwanda through the Blue Marble Dreams project. He has a BA from Eugene Lang College at the New School and lives in Prospect Heights with his wife and daughter.
