Markets The United States Of America

Open since 2015, the District is a huge 3,000^m2 covered market with a superb terrace overlooking the Hudson River. High-quality local produce is sold here, as well as many products imported from France: jam, mustard, oil, etc. The District is also home to a boulangerie (which makes excellent pâté and ham sandwiches), a cheese shop, a butcher, a café and three French restaurants. As everywhere in New York, anything French is expensive.

And it continues to grow increasingly eastwards. Chinatown's growing popularity (or markets) stems from its prices, significantly lower than those of Korean grocery stores. This is enough to attract most people who work in Chinatown, but not resident (the majority of Chinatown people are recent immigrants, others live Brooklyn or Queens). Women make up most of the clientele; They come and shop out of the neighbourhood and take the D train at Grand Street Station, one of the city's busiest stations. Approximately 75% of travellers carry the same transparent plastic bag.

Seasonal fruits and vegetables, candy, bagels and cookies are all homemade products that are available on the market. It is usually open at Thanksgiving time on Saturday morning. Namely that there is not only one address but several throughout the city, information to be taken from the site. Even when the beautiful season is coming to an end, the market continues every Saturday! It turns into a covered market and is held at the Lowertown Market at regular hours.

In 1979, El Burrito Mercado was just a tiny store. The immigrant community and the growing Latin and Mexican population have contributed to its development. It is now home to numerous stalls selling clothes, music and trinkets, all imported from South America. You'll find the spices and ingredients you need to prepare Latin American dishes. But you can also sample Latin or Mexican specialities in one of the market's restaurants. A must-see, if you have a little time.

As you will have understood, it is the farmers who present and sell their produce directly. There are fresh fruits and vegetables, honey and cakes. There's even a stand that teaches you how to cook and eat organic. You will also find small wooden objects or wool products. Ideal for buying small souvenirs. The summer market is held here between May and October. For the rest of the year, a covered market takes over about two Saturdays a month. He's standing inside the Mill City Museum.

Like all Americans in big cities, Chicagoans have been going green in recent years, judging by the multiplication of farmers markets in the city. There are organic products sold by the farmers themselves, honey, soap, flowers, vegetables and fruit... The prices are not cheap, but the atmosphere is friendly. Farmers will even give you recipes to prepare small dishes from their products. From November to April, the market is held in the Peggy Notebaert Museum.

This big market has two vocations. First, you can find a lot of trinkets, soaps, candles, spices and clothes. Stroll through the small stalls. The atmosphere is very familiar. You can also eat there for little money. Secondly, it is an interesting social project, since the market welcomes newcomers regularly and allows them to test their business for several months, before investing in a real store. The place is quite remote and accessible only by bus. We will go only if we have time...

The flower market in San Francisco is where all the florists in the city will come. To find fresh flowers at reduced prices.

Small, but of quality.

A smaller version of the Ferry Building Market with fewer crowds and onlookers and more reasonable prices. Its objective is to offer an outlet to small local producers, who work in a sustainable way. A system finally quite close to the small French markets. In addition, the organization provides one million euros worth of food to the city's most needy. And this is no luxury, considering the misery that ravages downtown San Francisco.

This small shopping mall gathers several restaurants, cafes and grocery stores for the pleasure of our palate. Very good solution if you stop in San Jose to have lunch or dinner in a nice place. You can find very good burgers at On the Flip Side, great ramen at Konjoe Tei, fresh fruit juices at Vitamina, and very good toasted sandwiches at Toasted. Personally, we have a soft spot for the smoothies at Natural Sweet Delight. A digest of good addresses for food lovers!

The capital's covered market sells local and seasonal products of (very good) quality. The stands are run by hand-picked vendors. On the programme, both sweet and savoury products: fish shops, butcher's shops, spice stands, cheese shops, chocolate shops, pastry shops, sushi stands... Happiness for the eyes as well as for the taste buds. The big advantage is that many of these stalls prepare dishes and sandwiches that can be eaten at the counter of their stalls or upstairs with a view of the market.

Here you are in the oldest open-air market in the country! Rain, shine or shine, the Haymarket vendors are loyal to the post every Friday and Saturday, starting at dawn! Of course, it is much more pleasant to stroll between the stalls of fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers, cheese and fish when the sun is shining. Note that the products sold here are often grown locally, but also that they are usually two to three times cheaper than similar products sold in supermarkets.

The only French market of New York. After its ranges in Chicago, French Market settled in Meatpacking District. Fresh fruit and vegetables, bread, condiments, pastries, you will find in New York all classic French market. A good opportunity to meet expatriates of long.

This is a small weekly grocery store, like they have all over the United States. You will find products from the surrounding farms: fresh fruits and vegetables, flowers, but also, sometimes, honey and farm eggs. The market is held every Saturday during the good season, usually from the end of May to the end of October. Make a stop there to stock up on fresh produce or to take the pulse of the town! Very bohemian atmosphere.
