Not sure why I went over there today but I wanted to get out a bit and am glad I did. During the week (especially Monday) it was looking a bit sparse and I figured the summer harvests were over and winter was closing in...but today. Wow! I bought a bunch of gladiolas for $7 (I could have bought 2 for $12 but couldn't have handled two bunches), yellow-orange tomatoes, a bunch of carrots (for carrot juice), some chestnuts (from an American tree, pretty uncommon nowadays), and some bosch pears.
I would have bought more but that was about all I could carry. I was tempted to buy more succulants and/or cacti-I'm always tempted but realized I'd have to be more careful about what I put in my carry bag if I did so. Another time.
There were wildflowers and domesticated flowers for sale all over the market. Tomatoes of all types (although my favorite, the little sungolds have just finished their season), rasberries (I was hoping for blueberries, but I guess that season's over), watermelon, which I always want but can't carry home--too bulky--pumpkins, cauliflower and the broccoli/cauliflower mix apples, potatoes, cheeses and meat and fish and eggs. Breads of all types...and crowds. It was so crowded that it was a little uncomfortable, but I know that everyone--like me-- was enjoying the last lush greenmarkets of the season.
Although they run all year round now, by winter, pickings are pretty slim and usually it's mostly bread, eggs, turkey sausage, honey, wine, jam, pretzel, and maybe an apple stand or two that are there regularly.
I adore New York.
