“Baggage Battles” has been renewed for 14 episodes, Billy Leroy tells The Local. The second season will start filming July 11 at a customs auction in Newark.

Billy Leroy may have buried his tent on the Bowery last month, but the antiques dealer isn’t done snatching up oddities from around the world.

Neighborhood characters like Clayton Patterson, Anthony Haden-Guest and Jim Jarmusch joined the antique salesman for one last bash before his store is buried.

Billy Leroy has set a date for the goodbye party that will precede the takedown of his tent.

The Travel Channel show co-hosted by the proprietor of Billy’s Antiques and Props will premiere April 11.

Before packing up his antiques tent, Billy Leroy showed The Local his five favorite East Village and Lower East Side holdovers.

Before a temporary closing, the owner of Billy’s Antiques is planning a week-long event of music, poetry, singers, songwriters, and films.
