Union Square Greenmarket

The result of a successful urban farming initiative, this lively open-air market is held in Manhattan’s Union Square. Its dazzling spread of organic greens, farmstead cheeses, artisan breads, jams, meats, wine, cider, and honey attracts chefs and amateur cooks alike. This is a great place to pick up some local produce and meet the farmers and bakers behind it. GrowNYC, the non-profit behind the market, also organises similar markets in several other public locations across the city.
