Weekend Market Picks April 13 & 14, 2013: Spot the First Ramps

It’s almost Ramp Season! Be the first person to send me a tweet (@MarketsNYC) with a picture of the first ramps, I’ll give you a pound of ramp butter! You can freeze it and use it all year long!

And, with no further ado, here are the Weekend Market Picks!

Saturday, April 13, 2013:

Greenpointers Spring Market: The twinkly lights are strung! If this event is anything like the Greenpointers Valentine’s Day Market, then it’s going to be a wonderful event with crafts, food, and other fun activities! 12PM – 6PM at From The Source, 69 West Street, Brooklyn

Prospect Heights Craft Fair: I always look forward to this market in springtime.

Vegan Spring Shop Up: Back for another great vegan food and artisan market, the Vegan Spring Shop up has a wonderful line-up of vendors, whether you’re a vegan or not! 12PM – 6PM, Pine Box Rock Shop, 12 Grattan St., Bushwick, Brooklyn
