Union Square Market
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10TH 2009
AREA MAP
I awoke relatively early and headed down to Union Square, a small public park where every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday there is a farmers market. The selection varies each day, but generally includes locally grown/made vegetables, fruits, plants, breads, eggs, cheese, honey and occasionally meats and fish.
Unlike the West Side Market, the Union Square Greenmarket has temporary booths that are entirely outdoors, much like an arts and crafts festival. It becomes very crowded by a plethora of people; tourists with cameras, nannies with strollers, people on bikes, elementary school tours and weekly shoppers.
I was overwhelmed by the food and the people, and I took very few photographs. I did, however, walk away with a fair amount of tasty goods, including pumpkin raisin bread and a lemon basil plant!
