Weekend Market Picks September 7 & 8, 2013: Plus My Mom!

Please go to a market on my behalf and let me know what you find there! Last week, I wrote about a cluster of markets in Brooklyn. This week, look for the ♦ identifying several markets in the Lower East Side area. Saturday, September 7, 2013 Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket: It’s time for a shout out for this flagship farmers market in Brooklyn! I walked through the plaza recently on Friday. It’s a splendid plaza, but the market truly puts the “grand” into Grand Army. The market

Weekend Market Picks Aug. 31 – Sep. 1: Brooklyn Bridge Park Farmers Market

I recently visited a new Down To Earth Market that opened by the Brooklyn Bridge Park. My sister- and brother-in-law were visiting with their perfect daughters. (I can say that because a) I am their Auntie Karen, and b) they are perfect.) That Sunday we went and had lunch at Smorgasburg in the Tobacco Warehouse, and then we took a long walk through the Park. Wow! They have done an incredible job with that park. Don’t miss the incredible children’s playground, including Swing

Shiny, Luscious Milk Chocolate Bar from Nunu Chocolates at Mad.Sq.Eats.

I’ve promised them some tasty treats too. Sadly, as I am not checking a suitcase, I can’t take the preserves and pickles I’d normally bring (pesky 3 oz. rule). But I am taking chocolate, purple potato chips, and hopefully some maple syrup candy too. I will try very hard not to eat them on the plane. James and I visited Mad.Sq.Eats. (that’s Madison Square Eats) yesterday to visit our old friends at Nunu Chocolates for some of Brooklyn’s own handmade delights. We picked up a bo

Word Cloud and Poetry at the Markets

Happy New Year!!! I hope you had a great holiday season! I purchased every single gift this year at the wonderful holiday markets all over town, starting with an antique Bavarian porcelain tea cup from the Greenflea that I sent my mom for her sacred afternoon tea, and finishing with a handmade sock monkey hat from the Union Square Holiday Market for my niece. And lucky for me, all of my gifts came from the markets too, from fingerless gloves to several amazing and gorgeous

Artisans + Farmers = A Match Made in Heaven (well, Gowanus actually)

I have been thinking about Valentine’s Day, for obvious reasons. So I thought I would write about a very happy union in Brooklyn: the Makers Market and Community Markets at the Old American Can Factory. The Makers Market is a great destination if you are seeking finely crafted handmade products. And now you can buy your veggies for the week there too! During this freezing winter season, the Makers Market and Community Markets have joined forces to create an indoor artisa
