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

Le District: This magnificent food hall opened earlier this year, featuring all French foods, plus some from the French Diaspora.

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.

Smorgasburg: Yeah, Smorgasburg is an amazing market for people who love delicious, unique food.

See website for locations and times.

Vendy Plaza: I really love this prepared food market because it is an incubator for some amazing emerging food purveyors.
