Abingdon Square is the West Village in miniature — a leafy pocket triangle with a doughboy statue — and its greenmarket packs real farm supply into a few tight stands: summer produce, eggs, baked goods and flowers, all from regional growers. The scale is the charm; you can do a full market run in fifteen minutes and still stop for a croissant on Hudson Street. It's the neighborhood errand that feels like a small vacation.
What to expect
A handful of quality farm stands around the little park, a steady stream of neighborhood regulars, and produce that tracks the season week to week. Come before midday for the good tomatoes; the surrounding blocks are prime West Village wandering afterward.
