Weekend Market Picks January 31 – February 1, 2015: Wintery Markets

Abingdon Square Winter Greenmarket It’s a blustery weekend, which means it’s a great time a) to enjoy our fun indoor markets and 2) show our appreciation for our farmers markets, which set up outside, pretty much rain or shine. So rather than stay cooped up inside watching the Super Bowl (there, I said it), get out and enjoy the brisk air and visit these beautiful markets! (If you must watch the game, then pick up some tasty snacks at the markets on Saturday.) Weekend Market

SHWICK: Bushwick Has A Great New Indoor Market

Late in the summer, I saw flyers all over Williamsburg for a new market opening up in Bushwick. I knew the organizers were on the ball when I kept seeing information and previews of their new market, SHWICK. So I was ready for Opening Day in mid-October. SHWICK is a mix of local artisans, vintage vendors and food purveyors, and even a farmstand in season. I was impressed with the great variety, and many of them are makers I’ve never met before. To me, that is a sign that SHW

Pelzer’s Pretzels To Open A Shop In Crown Heights

The first time I tasted Pelzer’s Pretzels was April 2012 at the Vegan Shop Up in Bushwick. I knew immediately that they were onto something good and new in the artisanal food markets. We have good pretzels in the city, but Pelzer’s brought soft, buttery Philadelphia style pretzels to the table. They are yummy on their own, and they make incredible sandwiches too. I next saw owners Leon and Barella Kirkland at the Brooklyn Flea’s Smorgasburg, where their fresh, warm pretzels w

Photo of the Day – April 17, 2012: Pelzer’s Pretzels

Pelzer’s Pretzels is a new pretzel company in Brooklyn that makes soft, chewy Philadelphia Style pretzels. I ate a delicious Everything pretzel this weekend at the outstanding Vegan Shop Up in Bushwick at the Pine Box Rock Shop. Pelzer’s soft pretzels come in a variety of flavors including the Everything pretzel pictured (poppyseeds, sesame seeds, onion and garlic), cran-mary (cranberry, rosemary and lemon), plain, salted, and probably more to come. They also have dips: spic
