One of my favorite things about New York are the various markets that spontaneously appear around the city all the time. Madison Square Market is an example of one of those lovely surprises. It occurs on the border of Madison Square Park where white tents are set up and filled with local treasures both that are both delicious and fashionable.
One part of the market is the shopping where local business owners sell beautiful scarves, leather bags, jewelry, and countless other products that continually tempt every New Yorker's shopping instinct. Shopping at an outdoor market in a park totally beats shopping in a store...
The other part is the food section where a multitude of local restaurants gather and sell their most popular menu items. From cannoli shops to fried chicken, this market provides a wide variety of flavors and textures that is so much fun for both those who are tasting everything or those who are just marveling. Also being sold is a selection of thin-crust pizzas, gourmet gruyere pretzels, and freshly brewed Kenyan coffee drinks that does not fall short of the high New York quality that I am continually getting spoiled with. My personal favorite was the homemade apple cider cake donuts that are mildly flavored but full of fresh apple taste that's all wrapped into a moist and crumbly cake donut.
This market is so much fun to have near my school and apartment. I think I have managed to stroll around the market everyday since its opening- good thing it will be around until late October!
Happy eating!!!
