Union Square Greenmarket

"Known as the mothership of greenmarkets, offering a wide variety of fresh produce." - Kevin Chau

"Union Square is a place of the people, not unlike the agoras of ancient Athens—and no offering of Union Square showcases this quality quite like the bustling Greenmarket. From upstate New York, the Berkshires, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, vendors sell artisan bread, honey, fresh-cut flowers, heritage meats, pastries, seasonal fruits and vegetables both common and uncommon, and much more. Don't miss the free events, like book signings and more: Cooking demos take place at the Market Information tent daily, beer and spirits pop-ups show seasonally, and the education station offers tours and tastings." - Vicki Denig

"A farmers' market in New York City that Jean-Georges Restaurant frequently visits for fresh, local produce to support sustainable initiatives." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Vegan Gluten-Free Sourdough Cinnamon Bun "When you spend a ridiculous amount of time baking mostly vegan desserts like I do, you become picky when you’re eating plant-based pastries out in the wild. But the cinnamon buns from Knead Love Bakery at the Union Square Greenmarket always hit. They’re made with local ingredients and they happen to be vegan and gluten-free, too. Not that anyone asked, but I would definitely swim in the icing." - brennan carley
