More about this place
Union Square Greenmarket is New York’s flagship farmers market, bringing regional produce, bread, fish, flowers, preserves, and direct conversations with growers into one of the city’s busiest public squares.
Arrive hungry enough to sample but curious enough to shop: vendor attendance changes by day and season, so the pleasure is seeing what is strongest now. The surrounding park adds chess tables, public art, and excellent people-watching.
The market operates year-round on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, with weather-related schedule changes possible. Bring a reusable bag and visit before the afternoon rush for the fullest selection.

Original curator notes · check current details.
Ask growers what is at its best that day before choosing what to buy. A flexible picnic or snack plan makes more of the market than searching for a fixed list regardless of the season.
