Tiny Coyote Tomatoes Pack a Wallop of Flavor
Pale yellow coyote tomatoes are not much bigger than a large blueberry, but they are little flavor bombs! Pop a single, tiny tomato in your mouth, and KAPOW! You’ll see what I mean. You can put them in salads or just pop them into your mouth. These ones are from Eckerton Hill Farm at the Union Square Greenmarket. Just keep your eye out for them in markets throughout the city and the week. One small container packs a lot of flavor!

Saturday and Sunday, August 22 & 23, 2015

Penn Plates: Urban Space is running one of its tasty, pretty food markets throughout the summer. There is so much to choose from: burgers, tacos, Turkish fare, vegetarian, gelato, and much more.

See website for locations and times.
