My daughter told me about this place that's down the street from her apartment. In my mind, I…read moreenvisioned it as a typical mall type food court. I couldn't have been more wrong! So many unique food options - Korean, Italian, Cuban, Hawaiian, a bakery, a produce market, and a mini mart. I chose Firenze based on my daughter's recommendation, and it was delicious. I will definitely be visiting again. Great lunch option, and I'm sure it gets plenty of foot traffic around the train schedules.

The market itself is on the smaller side, but it's a cool concept with a mix of local vendors and…read moredifferent cuisines all together. It has that casual food hall feel and is easy to walk through quickly. I stopped by a Turkish dessert spot (Vertige) and the service stood out right away. The server was super friendly and offered samples of everything, which I loved. The caramel tres leches was really good, definitely the highlight. I also tried the beef börek, which was just okay. I wish it had more filling and was a bit crispier. Overall, a nice spot to explore if you want to try a variety of foods in one place.

OMG! Green City Market is a Farmer's Market in Lincoln Park, Chicago …read more.. I absolutely loved every single vendor there! They had the most amazing veggies and fresh fruits from around the Midwest. We purchased various varieties of peppers, and of course, my favorite is the Gypsy Yellow bell pepper! I found a very rare Round Red Pepper, which is a Hungarian variety. The butter beans were so delicious, I used them in a soup, what I made in my daughter's kitchen. We bought some baked goods from a vendor. The Almond croissant was delicious, but the plain croissant was completely uneatable, because it was dry as a rock! The French baguette was delicious. We used it for dipping in olive oil, which my daughter brought home from Croatia. The Farmers Market is open from Spring till early Fall. I can't wait to go back when I'm in Chicago again!

If you love going to a farmers market, this is one you can't miss. We love going to the Green City…read moreFarmers Market, and I'm shocked I haven't written a review before. This market is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 7a-1p. It is a market that I'd recommend coming on the earlier end as it does get super crowded and most vendors do sell out towards the early afternoon. For this particular experience we went around 7:30am. For parking you can park in the Chicago History Museums parking lot, the booths have a validation card that help lower the costs down when you go and pay. (Be sure to pick one up at the Green City Market booth as you leave.) There are so many goodies, I don't even know where to start. I guess I'll start with my favorite part, it is an outdoor market and it is pet friendly. We brought our girl, Luna along and she made so many incredible new friends while walking around. It's so fun to see folks walking with their pups, and so many pup vendors for them to enjoy as well. We started our morning off by looking at some of the produce and baked goods, and those tend to get bought out first. We got to a few booths around 8am and they were already starting to sell out of baked goods. Once of my favorites was the pastry from the Eden booth. It had a variety of carrots and whipped ricotta cream on it. The perfect light and savory treat to share. We also grabbed a quiche and a breakfast sandwich to share from other booths, and this is when it started getting rather busy as the market. After buying our produce, we circled back to grab a grilled cheese for the road. When we walked up the line was starting to form, and by the time we got our sandwich (we waited 45 minutes for it) there was a line allllll the way around and more. Some folks waited a goood about of time for it, but the quality and taste were just the same no matter how long you wait because they crank those bad boys out fresh. We ended our morning by purchasing some fresh potatoes and leeks, along with freshly made potato Perogis from Daisies to make for dinner. Although it's quite the distance to drive every weekend, it's always a treat and we love supporting the local booths at the market. Can't wait for our next visit.

But it's situated rights at the Picasso of Chicago. Summer time vibes people just hanging out around the fountain and people watching. Pretty much standard fare for a farmers market. This one has a bit more jewelers and gift options. One thing I notice was the Raclette stand right in front of the Picasso. Mm... hot melt cheese! It's fun to watch too. Always fun stuff happening at Daley Plaza. Random house music parties, pop up shops, and sometimes protests. Always worth passing through when traveling through the loop. Always something fun going on and something tasty to eat.

I'd really wanted to pick up some strawberries but there were only a couple booths selling them when I was here last week, unfortunately. On the other hand, I can appreciate that it's a compact market (it only spans the block directly in front of the Museum of Contemporary Art) so that makes it a little more manageable than some other markets for some folks. It's not a destination farmer's market or anything, but when I'm here for doctors appointments I'd pick up from here if I wanted some fresh farm goods.

Well, it's large, the biggest in Chicago if I am right. While this means it gets crowded, many…read morepeople also bring their adorable dogs with them, which make the crowds much more bearable. With this size, there is an excellent variety of goodies to buy. I don't just mean across categories, but also within them. For example, there are several vendors selling meats, cheeses, fruits/veggies, hot sauces, and so on. Speaking of variety, it seems that vendors change on occasion - a good reason to get something that I like rather than putting it off, and to come back again and again. This may partially explain why there is no map available. I don't know what happens on the back-end, as the only map I could find was from 2021. As nice as walking around and exploring is, having a guide of some kind would be very helpful. This becomes doubly valuable considering some vendors are selling prepared foods. On that note, some more eating areas would be welcome. The prices are on the high side, as can be expected from a Farmer's Market. That said, $4/pound for albeit organic potatoes seems very high. Thankfully for my wallet, I did not arrive hungry, or I would have thrown dollars to the wind. Final verdict: As far as Farmer's Markets go, Green City Market is great! You can find a wonderful variety, and every week can be a new adventure. Prices are very high, but that is to be expected. While the idea is that you buy something, there is no obligation to. Would return?: Absolutely, leaving room for breakfast or lunch, depending on when I go Would reccomend?: Yes, for the adventure if nothing else. Who knows, you might walk out with a jar of honey you loved after sampling.

While walking around, I kept smelling something really good and basically followed the scent until I found the Baked Cheese Haus booth. Soon as I saw them scraping all that melted cheese over the sandwiches, I already knew I was getting one. I went with the Jambon Cru. Melted raclette scraped over cured ham on toasted baguette with spring onions, baby gherkins, and Dijon. And wow... this thing was a cheesy overload. So much melted cheese, rich, creamy, and warm. The baguette was toasted with that nice crunch, sturdy enough to hold all of it together. Then the gherkins and Dijon came in and cut through all that richness with a little tang and sharpness, which made every bite better. Messy, cheesy, a little ridiculous honestly. The whole market has such a fun vibe too. Busy, lots of people walking around, fresh produce everywhere, live energy all around. The people at the booth were super friendly too. Now I'm seriously about to go to Wisconsin just to find them again.

She had all her assistants harass not just me but other women who had their service animals with them. She Finally crossed a line when she grabbed me by my shoulder with an air of Authority to insist I keep my poor submissive dog on a tighter lead. I've been shopping here regularly and Judy intentionally harasses anyone with a dog ruining their shopping experience. I've asked the farmers here on numerous occasions if dogs are not allowed and why Judy holds so much aggression and contention for dog owners and they all told me they love dogs and they have NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER if a dog attends this market. My dog doesn't bark, never has "accidents " here, doesn't do anything destructive and if anything he tends to hide from strangers here who try to pet him. I'm allowed to have a dog here and Judy who runs Soar's makes everyone with a dog absolutely miserable. If you want to see a change perhaps write a truthful review of how you were treated while bringing your service dog here to this particular location! Soars is a 5 star experience but I'm deducting the two extra stars because I don't like complete strangers grabbing me by the shoulder especially now with monkeypox going rampant here! The flowers, fruits, vegetables, iced coffee and breads are wonderful here. If Judy is allowed to harass and grab us at will I'm not sure i feel safe here. I feel so sorry for my new puppy . Judy absolutely spoiled our shopping experience and she needs to keep her hands to herself
