Union Square Greenmarkets

Within two blocks from our hotel on E 17th Street were the Union Square Greenmarkets. The markets were founded in 1976, and provide an opportunity for the regional growers of New York to sell their produce, plants, arts and crafts to the locals and tourists trade. As you can see, the markets offer an abundance of choice and a place to socialise and chat to the vendors. I must say I was impressed with the quality and frequency of the markets. If I was a resident of NY, I would definitely buy from these markets.
