Pelham Parkway is one of the Bronx's great green boulevards — a wide, tree-lined corridor with malls and benches running between Bronx Park and Pelham Bay Park — and a farmers market beside Jacobi Medical Center puts fresh produce right on that walking route. It serves a stretch of the borough where fresh food and green space coexist better than most people expect. Shop, then walk the parkway east or west; both ends are parkland.
What to expect
Expect a modest set of produce stands along the parkway near the medical campus, shopped by hospital staff, older residents and families from Morris Park and Pelham Parkway. The market table handles SNAP/EBT and Health Bucks. Benches and shade trees line the parkway if you want to sit afterward.
