The 82nd Street Greenmarket is the Upper East Side's neighborly farm stop, setting up on East 82nd near First Avenue weekly a short walk from the Met. It's where locals fill their bags with summer produce, flowers and fresh bread before or after a museum morning. If you're doing Museum Mile this weekend, fold in a tote run for the season's best.
What to expect
Expect a row of farm and producer stands with seasonal fruit, vegetables, flowers and baked goods, and the relaxed pace of an Upper East Side Saturday. Growers are happy to share what's in season. Arrive early for the fullest selection.
