Food NetworkAugust 15, 2011The Greenmarket in Union Square is the city's largest farmers market and Rachael Ray's pick for fresh fruit, local seafood and beef and flowers, on $40 a Day.Find more tips at Food Network Local. Read more- You'll know what's in season with a quick stroll. Don't leave without Martin's pretzels and Ruis bread.
Joury IbrahimSeptember 1, 2016I like the place with its Flower shops, fruits n veggies, handmade accessories.. I wouldn't recommend going there on a very sunny day.
City of New YorkFebruary 28, 2012Union Square Partnership, along with Big Onion Walking Tours offers a free, 90-minute walking tour Saturdays at 2PM. Meet at the Abraham Lincoln Statue along the 16th Street transverse!
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.

Shutterbug Creative Imagery Thru A LensJune 13, 2012Thank you all from the deepest parts of my heart & soul for ur sacrifices. People need 2remeber that currently u VOLUNTEERED 4this, my hubby was drafted, but enlisted w/the Navy. U all r heros to me!!
Adam MNovember 9, 2018Really crowded on the weekends but its mostly good energy. union square park needs to be cleaned up though, a lot of times there is an unwanted "show" put on by a park squatter.
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.
JillianMarch 18, 2015Yum, horseradish samples, microgreens, and jams up the wazoo. Is there a better combo, people? Probably yes. But, really, go! It's a fun weekend activity.- 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.
Open Monday Wednesday Friday and Saturday from the wee hours until 6pm all year round. Some stands close earlier or sell out quick. Check out the cooking demos if you get a chance!
Top find: Homesweet Homegrown pepper sauces, hot and sweet varieties.
Horsefly ProductionsMarch 24, 2013ANDREW'S New York City Honey is not only DELICIOUS, but Andrew is incredibly funny, and makes shopping at his booth Fun!
Time Out New YorkSeptember 10, 2010Keep your eyes peeled for bite-size samples—all locally grown or made—and don't forget to enjoy the fall colors in the park and in the produce.
Large selection of produce, baked goods and meats. Fridays also have some local boozy beverages to buy.
Great selection of fresh, local produce. There are plenty of artisanal goods sold here too.
Jennifer EvansJune 24, 2015Love, love, love this place and all the stands with fresh food. Eat your way through the market!

Rob KelleyMarch 4, 2013Get the rocambole garlic from Keiths market (Saturday ). Sweeter, mellowed, it'll chane your while opinion of garlic
Favorite market in the whole city. The winter months are a little sparse, but come Spring and Summer, I find everything I need for a well-stocked fridge. I think Wednesday afternoons are the best.
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
Amazing all year round. Flowers, produce, bread, cider, meat. All organic. And THE CHEESE.
Lavender. One of my face stops. Fresh berries in season and those pretzels. The best.
Opened several days during the week, you can be your own chef and get your fruit/veggies and flowers straight off the truck; straight off the farm. Love it!
NetsirkDecember 14, 2015Support local, organic sellers and small business. Also grab a bag of apple cider doughnuts if you're in the area.
EdreaFebruary 27, 2012Shop New York's largest market! Fresh locally grown produce. Beautiful flowers and artisnal foods. Amazing selection no matter the time of year.
Stop by to get a Ronnybrook Dairy coffee milk or some cinnamon toast butter (only on Wednesdays or Saturdays). Also good: hot pickles from Rick's Picks.
Melissa QAugust 14, 2015Large area full of amazing foods and informative local farmers. Great place to spend the day.
Village VoiceNovember 14, 2011Winner of Best Farmers’ Market in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Look out for all the seasonal specialties - farmers often have signs for them.
Get one of the fabulous soups (like black bean and smoked pheasant) from Quattro Farm (there on Saturdays). They're great to take to work for an easy and hearty lunch that will make coworkers jealous.
City Crab ShackAugust 27, 2012Chef Joesph Vaina is constantly inspired by the products at the Union Square Green Market. Serving sustainable and local ingredients is a priority for all of us at City Crab.
Washington Square HotelMay 23, 2012An amazing green market to get the freshest, seasonal local goods. The closest thing to picking your produce from a farmer's field.
What chain say... I do love fresh fruit and vegetables... Also love stopping by to smell the flowers....
Great organic greens - in my opinion, sometimes better than the Whole Foods across the street. I always buy my baby spinach and fruit here in the summer.
The nice people at Consider Bardwell Farm will cut you individual servings of cheese so you can nibble on a small wedge for lunch :)- Scoping out apples at their nadir? Try the ginger golds at Mignorelli. Word is that the usual flow of apples will resume in the next 2-4 weeks.
- @JaumePrimeroDecember 11, 2013Best thing about the market besides all the amazing local produce? Red Jacket Farms! Best apple cider ever.
ChristinaJuly 17, 2013The chilled corn soup w/ pumpernickel croutons from Cart in the Park is so delicious!!!
LaTanya B. 🌍💥👙👩👧🙏🏾🇺🇸🇧🇸🍫🌊🎾🎸✈️July 31, 2011Awesome fresh market! I used to go work @ E 19th and Park so I frequented twice wkly. Baked goods, foccaccia, herbs, veggies, plants, flowers, honey... Really good stuff.
JoleneDecember 13, 2013The roasted chicken empanadas at the empanada stand in the magical winter wonderland Union Square market are outstanding. $3.75
The flower stand on the east side of the market is the best. Fresh reasonably priced bouquets.
