I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS FARMERS' MARKET!!!…read more They have such fresh produce here, and the prices can be quite reasonable, of course depending on the stand. I love walking here when it's not too crowded in the morning. I like picking up apples for breakfast, only like $4/lb. The real jaw-droppers are the flowers sold here. I have never seen some of these flowers before: there is such a vibrant and unique variety to choose from. The dahlias are incredible. Totally worth visiting. No hesitation.

Sycamore Farms has the BEST heirloom tomatoes and sweet corn in New York! Sycamore Farms, located…read morein Middletown, NY, has a stand at the Union Square Greenmarket. They have been written up several times by a variety of well-established publications (it is not just me) and they are also listed on the menus of some of the best restaurants in town. They are perhaps the most patient of farmers. If you are not sure or can't figure out how to pick out your fruits and vegetables, they will help you and/or teach you how to select them yourself. Any vegetable they sell seems to be best in class. Also on the list of vegetables/herbs I think they do well, includes, but is not limited to: basil, cucumbers, green beans, summer squash/zucchini (which I hated until I tried theirs) eggplant, broccoli, romanesco, pumpkin, brussels sprouts and fennel. They have recently started to weather the cold and sell greenhouse tomatoes and other winter veggies during late fall and early winter. Their veggies are better than anything you will find in the grocery store. It is worth the trip to the Greenmarket just to stop by Sycamore. From late May to November (now December) they can be found the the Union Square Greenmaket at 16th Street and Union Square East.

Maybe they sell all their good eggs to Eleven Madison Park. I'm not going to write Knoll Krest off…read moreentirely forever, but today I bought the most pathetic eggs from them. My face as I cracked these eggs was like... well, have you seen that Youtube video of the cruel family who gave their young son empty Xbox packaging for Christmas? Pay close attention to how his gleeful face drops suddenly as he realizes his coveted toy isn't available to him, and his doe eyes give way to tears of disappointment. That was me today. I hit the farmer's market for eggs because I use them in cocktails. They taste quite good cooked, but so do better Whole Foods eggs (and those don't sell out if I fail to roll out of bed in the early AM hours). The thing is, pasteurized eggs (like Whole Foods sells) have an eau-de-wet-dog when consumed raw. A great cocktail demands unpasteurized eggs. So I've got all these top notch ingredients lined up to make a Rye Cynar Flip, and I crack the first egg from Knoll Krest. The yolk is a tiny, flat lemon yellow blob and the albumen is as clear as the lenses in my glasses. This is bad. When eggs are laid they have carbon dioxide inside, which turns the albumen whitish. CO2 leaches out over time, so an opaque fresh albumen will become clearer as it ages. As for the yolk, color isn't necessarily indicative of quality*, but... it is. Free range chickens get to chow down on grasses and other good things that provide the carotenoids which make yolks a bright, rich yellow-orange. Caged chickens or birds fed a more anemic diet produce paler yolks. And aged yolks? They'll be flat and have a fragile, easily punctured membrane. Fresh yolks are round and taut and actually have to be tossed around with some force in a cocktail shaker to get them to blend. Fresh yolks are rich and velvety. Fresh yolks are to old yolks as heavy cream is to skim milk. I was hoping that was just one bum egg. I cracked another. Same disappointing results. I cracked another. Ditto. These miserable specimens look as bad as Trader Joe's eggs. At this point, I should really just bake something, but it's hot out and I want my cocktail, even as I resign myself to a subpar flip. My yolk-only (not whole egg) flips are usually a rich gold color with a thick, silky mouthfeel. Tonight, it looked like a watery Brandy Alexander. Whitish tan. Beige. And that's how I feel about Knoll Krest right now. Beige, limp and disappointed. . *Rich golden-orange yolks can also be achieved by feeding hens a lot of corn & dyes, so not all vividly hued yolks indicate a great quality egg. But eggs of great quality should have vividly hued yolks.

We eat eggs Daily (3 each hard boiled) and love to find organic products, but I have been disappointed several times purchasing your eggs. The picture I attach shows the yolk (lighter being Knoll Krest) vs Wholefoods (Nellie's Free Range). I just don't trust the product, a yolk should have a darker color if fed wholesome diet on a "free range farm", additionally the egg white is fragile and more like what I see in cheaper versions of eggs I've had to 'make do with'...

He even wanted to get some for breakfast next day, but they were closing at 9 pm which is more than fine. We decided to come here early for breakfast (they open at 7 am) before going to see the sights that day! Great decision! Got a bit concerned when we got there around 8,30 am to see a lock on the door (it was open) and no one inside. But somebody working there showed up to my husband's relief who was getting very concerned. Wonderful selection! We settled on box of 4 to get a deal (the prices area tad higher, but so is the quality) - so tried the coconut creme one (fantastic), the original creme brulee (small, but tasty and full of flavor and personality), tres leches (smaller side, but great glaze) and the star - vanilla bean and blackberry jam that was so nice and fresh! A nice sample, four fantastic representatives, some are their original ones! They have fun seating inside - furniture, decor, tiles - all have doughnut shape or motif and a few tables outside - which we chose for a nice day. We also got 2 cappuccino-s which were just right, nice, foamy, strong. Nice service, beautiful fancy doughnuts! We fell in love with Doughnut Plant, since it's a local NY chain, do yourself a favor and check one of their locations while in the area! No regrets!
