Union Square Greenmarket
Description
Not that it’s a competition, but this is one of the City’s most popular greenmarkets, and one its oldest too. Open Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays year-round, the sheer diversity of fruits, produce, meats, poultry, dairy and baked goods is basically unparalleled, with up to 140 sellers at peak season. Searching for veggies grown on farms a stone’s throw from the city? The finest examples of Finger Lakes region wines? Organic mushrooms cultivated in the Hudson Valley? Kosher baked goods made with locally-sourced, sustainable ingredients? There’s a vendor for that, located in this sizeable outdoor market.
