This year's season of the Saturday Morningside Park Farmers Market is going strong. The market now has incredibly delicious local fish, caught fresh near Montauk and brought to us at prices that can't be beat. New vendors Joseph Fisheries and Alex's Tomato Farm join long time favorites Migliorelli Farms (you won't find anyone else with as wide a selection of greens), Horman's Best Pickles (truly the best, with loads of varieties to try), Tierra Farms Organic Nuts (you won't go back to store bought nuts after trying these), Bread Alone (makers of my favorite sourdough rye). You can even pick up some meat and cheese before heading home.
Help spread the word about the market by downloading either the english or spanish flyer, printing and posting it around the neighborhood.
Morningside Park is located in New York City's borough of Manhattan from West 110th to West 123rd Streets between Manhattan Avenue, Morningside Avenue and Morningside Drive. It is one of four Historic Harlem Parks. The park was designated as a NYC Scenic Landmark in 2008. It is the first Historic Harlem Park to receive this designation and the first NYC park to be designated since 1983.
The City received jurisdiction over the 30-acres property in 1870 and began constructing the park in 1883. The original plans for the park were drawn up by renowned park designers Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux.
