UPDATED JUNE 2017: Summer in the city is the opportune time for outdoor shopping, and open-air markets such as these greenmarkets, farmers’ markets, and flea markets in Manhattan can provide free fun for the whole family. In addition to being convenient, buying from a local market means you’re buying from your neighbors, including local farmers and artisans, who form our area’s economy. So before you battle the lines at the grocery or department store, consult our comprehensive list of the city’s seasonal markets.
