An old warehouse has new life as a marketplace for a dozen creative entrepreneurs and as a hub for food trucks. Hand-printed clothing, authentic lauhala hats, boho-chic jewelry, letterpressed cards, specialty food products, original paintings, and locally crafted soaps are offered at the oft-changing shops and stalls. Locals and visitors mingle at shaded picnic tables outside. On Second Saturday evenings each month, craft vendors, farmers, cooks, and musicians join the scene.
Sample local fare and get in some excellent people-watching—perhaps the best in the city—at this indoor-outdoor market. More than 68 vendors sell everything from lamb chops to cigars in two buildings and an outdoor arcade, which is covered with tarps for the winter. The market is open year-round Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. The Grand Market Hall is over 241 feet long, with vaulted ceilings 44 feet high.
You can buy fresh fruit here, and from June through October you can pick your own, perhaps with a wagon ride to and from the orchards. The Wickham family has been growing apples, peaches, and vegetables on Long Island for more than 300 years. The stand is closed on Sunday.
When the Windmill Farm & Craft Market opened in 1987 as an outlet for local producers and craftspeople, it had fewer than 100 vendors. Today this 29-acre farm and crafts market is host to more than 200 vendors and craftspeople, many of them members of the Mennonite and Amish community. Offerings include farm-fresh produce, quilts, furniture, and sweets. It's open Saturday 8–4:30 from late April through mid-December.
It's worth getting up early on a Saturday to amble through the local farmers' market (8 am to 1 pm), a favorite destination for food, flowers, and fellowship since 1979. Within and just outside a historical train station, some 85 vendors hawk everything from fresh vegetables and artisanal cheeses to locally produced honey and dried fruit. Pick up fresh fruits and veggies from Sugar Top Farms and artisanal bread from Old Hearth Bread Co. or chopped pineapple from Indian River fruit. A quick coffee and fresh croissant from the market is a great way to jump-start a day of Park Avenue shopping. You can park on nearby streets and the public lots on New York Avenue and Morse Boulevard and Lyman and New England Avenues.
The indoor market is a year-round buffet of local produce, fresh fish, and excellent grab-and-go sandwiches and pastries.
