\"PhotoSo you\u2019re all moved into your New York Habitat accommodation, you\u2019ve eaten at all the city restaurants on your list, the kitchen in your rental apartment is as clean as when you arrived, and you\u2019re getting hungry. It\u2019s time to cook\u2013after all, one of the biggest reason most renters choose a New York<\/a> Habitat accommodation rather than a hotel is for the convenience and pleasure of home cooking.<\/strong> Now that you\u2019ve decided to eat in, its time to go shopping. Whole Foods is increasingly expensive, the fruit at the neighborhood bodega looks as if it might be plastic, and you\u2019re someone looking to take pleasure out of your New York food-shopping experience. The food-shopping solution for millions of New Yorkers is to visit one of the city\u2019s dozens of farmer\u2019s markets. You heard right; Farmer\u2019s markets in the heart of the Big Apple.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Farmer\u2019s markets, or Greenmarkets as they\u2019re now being called in New York, embrace the old-school pleasure of food shopping. Greenmarkets are meant to be perused\u2013avocado\u2019s squeezed for ripeness, apples held up to illuminate bruises and cheeses sniffed for sufficient stinkiness. Greenmarkets are the best place in New York to find unprocessed food, straight from the farm to the Upper East Side<\/a>.<\/strong> Contrary to popular belief, farmer\u2019s markets are also good places to find a good deal (while places like Whole Foods have fixed prices city wide, independent farmers augment their prices more often in a direct response to supply and demand). NYC Greenmarkets are social gathering places, in a city where everyone is in a rush, shoppers and sellers at Greenmarkets discuss the values of mold on goat cheese or the best season to buy asparagus. Greenmarkets also promote the socially-conscious concept of buying and eating local foods.
