Want to rub elbows with some of New York City’s most revered celebrities? Head to the Union Square Greenmarket. In a city so food-focused, restaurants, and those at their helm, often garner more attention than the TMZ variety of celebrity. Follow top chefs like Tom Colicchio and Daniel Boulud to New York’s most famed farmers’ market, right in the heart of downtown. It’s here that local growers showcase bold cherries and sweetpeas in spring, bountiful ears of corn and colorful heirloom tomatoes in summer and ripe peaches and plums in early fall. Even in winter, this year-round produce palace holds steady, rain or shine every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Locavores come to buy organic, fresh and eco-consciously grown goods that hale from upstate New York, Massachusetts and other surrounding area farms. In addition, artisanal breads and cheeses, grass-fed meats, honeys, jams and pickles are all here for tasting and taking away. If you’re just here to scope the selections, homemade seasonal specialties, like apple cider doughnuts and strawberry-rhubarb pies, are just more mouthwatering reasons to visit. If you’re here to shop though, be prepared to battle Anita Lo for that fragrant bunch of Thai basil.
