Julie K. H.March 13, 2013Loved my walk today to the market. A feast for my senses after yesterday. Picked up maple syrup spread and syrup, mackerel to grill tonight, a sack of apples, yogurts, cider donuts, lavender sachets.Upvoted 1 week ago
Make sure you walk around the market and explore before pulling the purchase trigger - there are some great finds at the end (and I'm not just talking about the compost station!)
Love doing my shopping at this market. So many wonderful stalls to chose from for all my fruits and vegetables, as well as honey, maple syrup and other goodies.
Serious EatsSeptember 6, 2013The city's biggest and best farmers market, open Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., year-round.
Katharine HardisonJuly 6, 2013A great variety of stands selling mostly raw ingredients from the local area but some delicious baked good. Plus there are often wine and hard cider tastings from upstate.
Jeffrey ZeldmanJune 23, 2016Possibly the most famous greenmarket in NYC. Great local produce and people-watching.
Suzan Not SusanMay 4, 2013Nothing like waking up to a farmers and flowers market across the street from your hotel. Even tourists can find goodies to take home. My cats will love their wheatgrass catnip.
AstoriawinedivaMarch 3, 2012Open Mon Wed Fri Sat 8-6. follow them on twitter for updates of vendors! Become a LOCAVORE - buy local eat local, the only way to do it! the atmosphere rocks, a great people watching spot.
Zee PCDecember 17, 2014It is well worth a visit in the AM. All the vendors are fully stocked, and the selections are the best. You can find lots later in the day, but many of the vendors are either gone, or have sold out.
Don't miss the Ruiz Finnish Rye Bread (free samples served with cheese and cucumber). It will replace your usual bread. Stand is usually on corner of 17th and Park Ave S.

The Corcoran GroupOctober 14, 2011Our favorite place to shop for locally grown foods – just be warned, you have to be tolerant of crowds. You must go to the Red Jacked Orchards and Rick’s Picks stands!
Douglas SouzaOctober 19, 2014The place to get healthy food. It's also a good opportunity to take some nice photos of the flowers and colorful vegetables. Don't leave without drinking a nice organic apple cider!
CompassApril 25, 2014Some of the city’s most exquisite restaurants get their produce and meats from the weekly farmer’s markets. Ostrich, organic kale, and handmade jams are just some of the farm-made delicacies here.
P-LO LouisFebruary 15, 2014Make sure to get the rewards card - you don't have to use EBT to get it. I'm not on EBT but I still get the rewards card - managers center. Also wear comfortable shoes- It's here all of the time and has basically everything, including tasty bread and cheese spots that are cheaper than going to a store. Stop in!
Jessica ThompsonMay 21, 2021Excellent market with a wide variety of products to pick from. It was a wonderful experience. The sellers are incredibly polite and they have instilled in me a sense of freshness and high quality!
The flagship Greenmarket in NYC. There are all the produces, dairy, meet, flower, and baked good vendors you could ever want. Get there early on Saturday to avoid the huge crowds.- Fresh, free range organic eggs, mushrooms from the mushroom stand, maple candy and whatever produce is beckoning (the last summer tomatoes this week) always top my "must buy," list on Saturdays.
The best value and quality vegetables can be found in the North-East side of the square.- Devin CozzJanuary 5, 2021Best market in town. Fresh fruits, vegetables available. Huge collection with wide variety. Price is reasonable. Quality is excellent. Love doing shopping from Union Square Green market.
Celena ChanAugust 5, 2015Great for people watching, artisan cheese, fresh flowers and local fruits and baked goods. Can be a bit expensive and crowded, but it's always nice to support local when possible!- Sofia PereiraJuly 19, 2021Everything you got here is natural, organic & fresh that is flowers, fruits & vegetables. Local market & local people around. Also had tasty food & delicious fruit juice. Must visit, Good experience.
ChelseaFebruary 7, 2015If you're looking for sustainable meat & organic veggies, this is the go-to spot. Lots of raw honey and other treats too!- Aaron LevisNovember 3, 2020Best market in a town. A great variety of fruits, vegetables to buy. Price is reasonable. Good quality of vegetables and fruits. Recommended to friends and family.
The biggest greenmarket in the city as far as I know. You can sometimes find unique fruits or certain plants just a little bit ahead of when everyone else starts selling it.
Best place to get local produce, baked goods, flowers, plants and just walk around, no matter what the season is
Lonestar TacoFebruary 13, 2013Some of our favorite sources for our menu are found here. A few of which include: Cayuga Pure Organics, Millport Dairy, Berried Treasures, Norwich Meadows, Ronnybrook Dairy, Arcadian Pastures, etc
TingJuly 30, 2015Guess this is the best place to get farmer's to table produce while living in Manhattan city center.
Ivy LiApril 22, 2013Hungry? You will be when you visit the Greenmarket at Union Square. On a nice day around 9AM you can spot NYT street fashion photographer Bill Cunningham snapping pics. How New York is that?
Louis VuittonAugust 26, 2011This lively outdoor market is the place to buy homemade treats, local produce, organic meats and dairy from vendors selling direct from the farm. Visit during the week to avoid the crowds.- MetroFocusApril 20, 2012NYC honey has a unique taste b/c we have a plethora of trees that are found nowhere else in the world. Check out urban-bee farmer Andrew Coté's honey stand every Monday & Wed. to taste the difference Read more
MarthaMay 4, 2015always a great spot when you want local produce, eggs, flowers and the like. go early...it gets packed as the day goes on and items run out too.- Mariel LëmairApril 9, 2017Best Saturday morning spot to buy fresh micro greens , dry lavender, and lilies. The lilies are breathtakingly beautiful, and last for over a week 💕
I love the produce here. It's a menagerie of color. The New York bee guy offers a taste of New York honey.
Joseph AlpernJanuary 4, 2012Body and Soul vegan bakers are amazinggg!!! They have a Sweet Potato Muffin (or butternut squash depending on the season) with no added oil and its on a level of its own. They do half off after 5!
Jessi SinghAugust 29, 2017I buy for Babu Ji here all the time, but even on the days I don’t need to, I still find myself here. All the gorgeous microgreens and edible flowers I use come from the Two Guys From Woodbridge.
Brian HoeftApril 8, 2012Body & Soul Bakery: the MUSTARD TOFU TURNOVER was delicious and original. Several other veggie turnovers I'd like to try too. They're at Union Square on Mondays and I forget the other days.
The number of times I've found amazing food at the green market is staggering. I would highly recommend the cheese vendor who comes on Saturdays.
Cory WMarch 21, 2012One of the best reasons to avoid Union Square. When it was occasionally there it was good. Now it's a ripoff and clogs a perfectly nice park. My tip? Ask Bloomberg to revoke their permit.- Avoid Saturdays here unless you arrive before 9am. Wednesday/Friday are best. The best produce always goes in the morning as the chefs make the rounds. Bring cash in small bills and a reusable bag.
Norwich Meadows for the best produce, Tremblay Apiaries for outstanding, seasonal honey.
Hot Bread KitchenJanuary 17, 2012The Union Square Greenmarket serves more than 250,000 customers per week! In addition to hundreds of produce choices the market is also a fantastic place to pick up some fresh baked Seasonal Focaccia!
Always fun to wander. In the summer the fresh fruits and vegetables are outstanding. I always buy pretzels from Martin's here.
Prices are somewhat high, but it's veggies galore! Fruit is also very good too (blueberries, strawberries), and don't forget to try the honey.
My favorite here are the stands with cold, fresh apple cider for a ridiculously low price. I usually get here late on Saturday afternoons, after spending all day out walking around Manhattan, hot, ti

"They have a zaahtar labne babka I just gifted to members of a zaahtar appreciation group that looks delicious, but don't be fooled and expect them to be able to pronounce it correctly"
