Meet your market guide.

As the author of Markets of New York City, Karen Seiger is a pro at navigating the abundant produce, bakery, craft and butcher vendors. Here, she let's you in on where to go and what to pick up this weekend.

  • Scapes

    Discover Garlic's Cousin.

    "You can pick up scapes now from Keith's Farm which sells organic vegetables. The scapes are delicate and flavorful, like a cross between ramps and garlic. My friend makes an amazing Farmers Market frittata with them." Get the recipe here.

    Union Square on Wednesdays and Saturdays
  • Arcadian Pastures

    Bet the Farm.

    "Laurent Danthine is both the farmer and the butcher from Arcadian Pastures. Everything he sells is fresh and comes from grass-fed and free range animals."

    Union Square on Wednesdays, Greenpoint and Grand Army Plaza on Saturdays
  • Meow Meow Tweet

    Come Clean.

    "Meow Meow Tweet makes innovative vegan soaps with adorable packaging. For example, bug-repelling Citronella Fir (pictured) has Bigfoot on the label. You can also sign up for the Soap of the Month Club. This month the soap is Tangerine Basil & Poppy Seed."

    Hester Street Fair on Sundays
  • First Prize Pies

    Have S'more.

    "I love First Prize Pies. They're from the daughter of Roni-Sue's Chocolates. I can't resist the S'mores Pie with a graham cracker crust and chocolate ganache. So worth it!"
