Great Escapes: Downtown Brooklyn Greenmarket
Shop like you're back on the farm—right in the heart of the borough of Kings.
Most of us know about the and how wonderful—and close—it is. But there's another purveyor of fresh fruits and vegetables not too far away, right behind Borough Hall in Downtown Brooklyn.
Like its Fort Greene counterpart, this market is filled with home grown, cut or baked products. In fact, nothing at the market comes from more than 150 miles away.
The market’s selection will vary based on the season, but it’s already gearing up for fall with delicious apple cider. It also has a huge fruit selection, perfect for grabbing a snack before running into work or on the way home.
