So many markets, so little time. On Saturday we started with the Hester Street Fair – nice little mix of outside stands and had my first ice cream sandwich. Caught a train to Brooklyn for the Artists & Fleas market. Lots of stalls crammed into two adjoined buildings on 6th Street. Got an original artwork and a belt. Walked through the Williamsburg area to reach the Backyard Bazaar – a few stalls out the back of a shop. Nice ties but no purchasing.
On Sunday we caught a bus to the New Amsterdam Market. Heaps of fantastic food stands under a bridge. Porchetta rolls OMG! Walked past the World Trade Centre to Battery Park to get a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty. Then the rain started. We caught two buses and got soaked so we could return to the market for lobster rolls. They were worth the trip, but they couldn’t match the perfection of those first porchetta rolls and their slow-roasted salty fatty porkiness.
