New! Uptown Farmer’s Market!
7/9/2009 Reminder:
Did you check out the new Farmers Market?
I swung by last week (as I mentioned in the comments section) – and one vendor of note was Hoboken Farms.
Yes – the looks are deceiving, since they have lots of carbs, and blobs of fresh Mozz – however, it’s a great addition to the standard fruits and veggies that other vendors are offering.
Hoboken Farms provide a wide selection of breads (from Balthazar’s and Hoboken’s own Dom’s Bakery) – along with other frozen or refrigerated items like crab cakes, fresh pasta and even meats you can grill.
If you’re dieting, the worst tent to get caught under during a rain storm was this one. But I’m still happy nonetheless!
Pay a visit today (starting at 4pm)!

7/2/2009 Update/Reminder:
Just a little “nudge” that the “new for 2009” Uptown Farmer’s Market begins TODAY!
Also – in speaking with Dave Calamoneri (who’s helped organize this event) – the streets were off by one block. The market will be setup along Hudson Street between 13th & 14th (not 12th & 13th). So if that extra block of walking will effect your health – consider yourself warned!

Uptowners: Less schlepping!
Hot on the heels of the 2009 Farmer’s Market downtown – is an exciting new addition this year. Uptown residents will be treated to a weekly Farmer’s Market as well!
Starting on Thursday, July 2nd – and continuing at least till the end of October, Hudson Street between 12th and 13th Streets will be transformed into an awesome market of fresh locally grown produce!
Not 100% sure how they pulled this off, as King’s Supermarket may take a bit of a beating on those days, but I doubt residents will complain (other than the lack of parking).
NOTE – UPTOWN FARMERS MARKET CANCELED FOR TODAY….
Was wondering about that– sure hoped it was cancelled ’cause it feels like February out there.

how about an uptown farmer’s market? any chance shoprite would let them set up shop in their parking lot? we need one!!
Market is every Thursday from 3-730. Great fresh food
I think the 4-5 booths that are set up there have good quality produce and other food, and the prices are reasonable. I bought several things yesterday.
But to call it an “Uptown Market” is a little deceiving. To me, “market” implies something much larger than what is offered here…which isn’t to say that it’s not good…but folks expecting a full-blown market with lots of stands/choices aren’t really going to get that.
will it be every thursday?
never mind … just read full article. apologies. I’m, psyched cause I live/commute from uptown and could rarely get home early enough to head downtown.
