Green Market
 

Any other Green Market fans out there?

Went this morning and scored amazing fresh goodies including French Radishes (delish with Champagne, I kid you not) and these little purple carrots that I'm about to saute in a little olive oil. Bought a couple steaks, and some tiny potatoes that will be lightly fried with some purple bulb onions.

I recommend the market heartily, its in the south end of Lincoln Park just north of LaSalle, right at the Lincoln Ave. stop on the 22/36 buses, the 151 is also close. Saturdays from early until about 1:00 and one other day (Thursday?)

Only problem is when your wallet in a lot lighter when you leave - all the $2 $3 and $5 transactions really add up!

...and unlike the downtown markets, this one's not right next to any ATMs. I also like the fall/winter markets that Green City Market does -- they've had them in the big-cat hall at the zoo and in the Nature Museum. So wonderful to get fresh produce right up until the snow.

Green market is great, and there's also the "City Garden" @ Clybourn & Division.
