The mothership of NYC greenmarkets since 1976 — up to 140 regional farms, and the market half the city's chefs shop at. Go early on Saturday and watch the restaurant carts roll through.

Poseidon Bakery
Greek bakery run by the same family since 1923, and one of the last places in America still stretching phyllo dough by hand. Fourth-generation, tiny, cash-leaning, irreplaceable.
