Saturday mornings I make it a point to visit my local famers market on 82nd Street. Its located in the Upper East Side, next to a Hungarian church. This part of the Upper East Side was once fully inhabited by Hungarians, Czechs & Germans living side by side. Personal fact: My mothers side of the family is from Hungary, making me 1/2 Hungarian. I personally love hearing the Hungarian language being spoken on the streets while I shop, brings back memories.....
Back to the post ..... At the local market you can buy anything from produce to cured meats. Ive compiled a list for you of the in season produce you should try to buy at your local farmers market.
