Veselka: East Village
Ukrainian cooking at Second Avenue and East Ninth Street. A place to sit down over pierogi and turn a walk into a meal.
Food & drink New York
Regional growers, bakers and fishers bring the season’s produce to the edges of Union Square.
Union Square Greenmarket connects Manhattan with regional farms, bakeries and fisheries. It began in 1976, and its changing produce remains a good reason to revisit: the stalls reflect both the season and the producers attending that day.
Browse with room in your bag for whatever looks useful, or start a food-focused city walk here. GrowNYC’s day-specific market maps and producer lists are worth checking because the selection varies between market days.
