Bringing kids to broadway Flea

Adescalzo14 said: "So when I asked my dad if he and I could go to Broadwayflea he said sure. And of course, he told my mother that we would be in attendancebecause that's what you do when you are leaving town to go to NY. So then my mom that an idea that the whole family would go. By the way, I'm the only one that's really into Broadway. And I am a twin. We are both 14 and I have a brother who is 9. My brother hates shopping my mom hates crowded places and my sister hates me lol. No, she doesn't but she can be very obnoxious and annoying. I just wanted to go with my dad and now everyone is coming. Honestly, I don'tcare if my sister comes it's just my brother. He gets really cranky and honestly, he hates shopping and we're going to be there till like 5 and we're going for 9-10ish idk when it opens. So is it fine for kids to go to? One more thing my mom gets really bitchy when there arereally long lines and honestly I heard that the cometline was huge. But the question is should my brother go or not?"



Your posts are sounding more and more like ESTs (Elaborate Scenario Trolling).

I remember the flea being very crowded in the morning with long lines at Comet and DEH. This year obviously Comet won't be there but I can see there being long lines for Mean Girls and Dear Evan Hansen.

If they go in the late afternoon, lesser people are there and it's more manageable (though most of the sought after items are gone.) I agree with the other posters to let your mom and brother see what it's like... and after 2-3 mins or so let them do whatever they want to do in NYC. I suggest bringing cash as some of the long lines are due to people paying by credit card. If you have cash, at times you can just point and tell the person "I would like that please"; give the cash to him/her, and then leave! If you pay by credit card, then you have to wait in line as only 1-2 people there have the iPad that can handle credit card transactions.

Agreed. I have gone the past two years, and I am probably going to skip this year. The crowds are just REALLY dense and bad.
