I had the opportunity to visit the Rochester Public Market a few times this harvest season…read more It's a large, bustling farmers market where many vendors sell not only seasonal produce, meat, seafood, baked goods etc., but also all sorts of unexpected merchandise. If I lived closer, I would certainly be here more often to shop, meet for coffee, lunch, and so on. There are restaurants, cafés, and bakeries on the premises. You can find whatever you're in the mood for--whether you want something elegant or more casual, or perhaps something trendy. There are plenty of places to sit and sip coffee, eat a sweet pastry, and watch what's going on around you. I love everything about this market! It's incredibly diverse and lively. What a fun place to be! I don't know what else I could add. Perhaps the fact that, for the past two years, I've been buying all the tomatoes for my preserves at this very market. This year, I discovered a stall run by a very friendly person originally from Turkey. It turned out we both love making tomato preserves. To my delight, she even showed me photos of her finished jars! Her tomatoes were delicious! I hope to return to that exact spot next year. What else? For the first time on this side of the ocean, I saw a mushroom stand where you could pick out the specific mushrooms you wanted. On top of that, paper bags were provided--not plastic ones. Perfect! As I've already mentioned, you never quite know what to expect. Every week, you'll see or experience something new. That's why there's no room for boredom.
