Oysters at the New Amsterdam Market, which happens once a month near South Street Seaport. A few of the vendors that I enjoyed visiting this past weekend were Mast Brothers Chocolate (whose beautifully wrapped trio of chocolate bars would make a lovely small Christmas present), Porchetta (for their aromatic pork sandwiches), and the various New York vintners giving out tastes of cider and wine (I especially liked the late harvest Riesling—sweet but not heavy—from the King Ferry Winery).
How does it compare to Borough market in London?
ReplyDeleteWell, nothing beats Borough Market, does it? This one is not nearly as big, so the selection is smaller. And because it occurs only once a month, you get none of the storefronts that you have in Borough Market.
