Supermarket Alternative

An important aspect of being green is making sure that you eat local products. The Union Square Greenmarket, held Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, is the perfect spot to stock up on all different kinds of delicious, locally grown products. An ample assortment of cheese, fish, beef, produce, and bakery goods line the walkway of this downtown market place. Most of the products featured here are organic or naturally grown, and the variety is truly astounding. There are plenty of samples to be had from many of the vendors - a great opportunity to try different things and see what you like! Uptown Girls love the different varieties of cider that many of the booths offer, such as pear and raspberry. Or try something you have never eaten before, such as an exotic fruit or vegetable (edible flowers, anyone?) Head to Union Square on a beautiful morning and check out the fare from these local farms - pick up some fun ingredients to make dinner with and enjoy!
