Brooklyn's flagship greenmarket has set up under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch every Saturday since 1989, and in October its stands are stocked with the fall harvest from regional farms. You can sample local wine, stock up for the week and walk straight into Prospect Park's fall colors. If you want a slow, delicious Saturday morning in Brooklyn, start here.
What to expect
Expect rows of farm stands at the plaza, with shoppers carrying tote bags, dogs on leashes and runners finishing park loops. Stalls range from produce and baked goods to local wine, and the plaza gets busiest by late morning.
