"A local greenmarket offering fresh produce, located conveniently up the street." - Kevin Chau
"“I get there a half hour before it opens. I want to get that baby butter lettuce before it gets sold out. And then I get the microgreens because they're supposed to be so healthy for you. My friend, Matt, who's in my band [Bridget Everett and the Tender Moments], starts every morning with a fistful of greens. So I just take a fistful of microgreens and shove it in my mouth and try to get my nutrients going. And those baby butters…it's the only thing that makes me crave a salad. If that's what it's gonna take to get me the fiber I need, I'm gonna do it. My friend Dan from The Dan Band, if I've been out with him on a Saturday night, I'm like, ‘I gotta go to bed.’ And he's like, ‘Are you leaving me so you can go to the f*cking farmer's market tomorrow morning?’ And I was like, ‘Yes, I am. Goodnight.’”" - brennan carley
"One of the Upper West Side's regular farmers' markets. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
A beloved Upper West Side Sunday stretch by the museum, known for fresh fish, dairy, flowers, and berries. Regularly recommended by city guides and praised for its neighborhood rhythm and seasonal variety.
"A bustling local farmers’ market where the author routinely buys a small apple pie for breakfast and sources fresh seafood and meat from familiar vendors; Warren brings in Montauk catches and often saves preferred fish for the author, offering cod (a favorite for broiling), large slabs of swordfish ready for broiling, scallops for sautéing, hard-shell clams for steaming, and handsome Berkshire pork chops. The market also has a bakery that supplies morning pies, and it has a lively atmosphere on race mornings when runners pass through wearing metallic—or this year orange—capelike wraps." - Chris Crowley, Margalit Cutler
