This is a greenmarket doing exactly what greenmarkets are for: fresh regional produce landing in the middle of a dense, working neighborhood, priced and sized for real weekly shopping. August stands run heavy with tomatoes, corn, greens and stone fruit, and the market anchors an errand run that can include Sunset Park's taquerias, bakeries and dumpling spots on the surrounding blocks. Shop it like a local — because everyone here is one.
What to expect
A line of farm stands along 4th Avenue with a steady neighborhood crowd, best selection in the morning, and seasonal produce that turns over week to week. The market sits at the foot of Sunset Park itself — climb the hill after for one of Brooklyn's best skyline views.
