BULLETIN! MANY OF YOUR FRIDAY MARKET FAVORITES WILL BE IN THE UNION SQUARE GREENMARKET ON TUESDAY THIS WEEK!

In addition to the Monday and Wednesday markets this week there will be a full Greenmarket on Tuesday, so that our Friday friends will be here. Several Saturday market faves, like Quattro's poultry, will be here on Wednesday. Check the Greenmarket's pages to see which stands are here.

Saturday's market has been rearranged, with stands normally at the West end of the market relocated in various places, so you'll need to check out the whole setup to find your farmers.  For instance, Cherry Lane, normally at that end, is now next to Quattro's close to Park Avenue.  Happy hunting!

Meanwhile, you can check the pictures on the following URL to get an idea of where things are:  http://tinyurl.com/onckadj
