You can miss out on so many things by taking the subway in New York City. Like this farmer’s market we stubbled upon as we made our way up towards Times Square. We took off on Saturday morning on foot hoping to find a near by coffee shop. Most things were still closed even though it was past 7 a.m. Apparently, some people do sleep in the city that never sleeps. I think this is where they get that saying from. People don’t sleep during the late evening hours, but during the early morning their heads are on their pillows. The city was fairly quite as we meandering through the streets without looking at a map. It made for a great time exploring besides the fact that it was pouring rain. We finally broke down and purchased some umbrellas at the first open store we could find. It made the rest of the morning’s walk so much more enjoyable. The farmer’s market was full of piles of veggies. It is the biggest one that I have ever been too. The one’s around here usually have little food choices, but are filled with crafty items. I loved walking around the square looking at the piles of veggies, the smiles on vendor’s faces and the shoppers. The rain didn’t seem to stop anyone but some tourists. Good thing we are from Montana and love crazy weather!
