Ever been to the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia, or the Grand Central Market in Manhattan, or the North Market in Columbus, OH? They are massive food emporiums that sell every kind of food known to mankind. Think any fruit and vegetable under the sun, eggs, ice cream, pies, breads, donuts, whoopee pies, cookies, eggs, meats, sausages, jerky, popcorn - get the picture? The assortment never ends.
Ever been to a really, really, big flea market, like the Elephant's Trunk in Connecticut or the Brimfield Fair in Massachusetts? Places where you can buy clothes, and tools, and books, and electronics, and more food.
Well, combine the two, throw in animal auctions for good measure, and you have the Green Dragon Market and Auction.
They're only open on Fridays, and basically, it's a Farmers Market spread throughout seven large buildings, a few smaller ones, and lots of outdoor stalls. They have plenty of eating options, ranging from sit down restaurants to stands for pizza or sausage.
We had a blast, wandering around the complex, weaving in and out of the buildings, looking at all of the incredible foods and stuff for sale. I bought a half pound of meat sticks from one of the butchers.
We found a very cool place that sold thousands of coffee K Cups, many of which I had never seen before. You buy the cups individually and make your own custom dozen. They ran around sixty cents each, so that was a fairly decent price. We had fun going through the boxes and picking out our twelve.
Bottom line is we had a terrific time here.
