I was in downtown Springfield for a meeting. When I arrived in our capitol of the state of Illinois…read moreby train, I noticed all the pop-up canopies and busy foot traffic. So when I arrived at the Amtrak station, I asked one of the helpful agents, what I had just seen. He informed me that it was the mid-week farmers market. When I was done with my very short meeting, I took off to explore this delightful little market. It was only about two blocks long, but it had an amazing assortment of vendors. Traveling by train for the day, I was limited to what I could buy, If I lived local, I would have had shopping bags full. I did buy some scones from one bakery, for a snack later in the day and for my breakfast the next morning. Again, if I were local, I would have bought some fresh vegetables, homemade sausage, fresh flowers and so much more. The vendors that I spoke with were good ole country friendly and I could sense their passion in the products they were offering. In addition to the vendors, a local radio station was broadcasting live outside one of the near-by restaurants. Music to shop by is always a nice touch. As i left the market, I wandered in a different direction then when I arrived and stumble upon a sign alerting parkers not to utilize a lot on Friday night and Saturday. Why? It's saved for the Saturday, Farmers Market. So, I can only imagine the Farmer's Market on Saturday must be BIGGER and BETTER. When: June 23, 2021 Why: In town for meeting - out exploring downtown

A diamond in the rough and a great place for delicious treats…read more We were visiting Lincoln's hometown of Springfield, Ill and wanted to get a snack. We found this place online. It is a little south of the city and west of the interstate but it is absolutely worth the detour. It is a rustic place called the Apple barn and parking is right in front. Their website gives a lot more information about it being more than just the main shop that is in the barn. They began as a family apple orchard and expanded over the years into a collection of attractions including two restaurants, a general store, a creamery, a winery, a candy factory, and a Christmas shop, all centered around the original barn built in 1910. We only visited the barn with the bakery goodies and the very friendly staff who helped us get some delicious snacks for the trip back to the hotel. It was great! Even if you don't plan to buy anything, it's worth taking some time to visit to get a snack for your trip or, if you are going to walk around the site, for the extra visit. We found it to be one of the more enjoyable stops to the area capping off a great visit to the Springfield, Ill area.

My fiance, daughter and I just moved here from Las Vegas in September and we have been missing our elote (Mexican corn), paletas (ice cream) and more! Their ice cream is all freshly made and all natural. Same with their popsicles, you can see the real fruit in them and there are so many options to choose from. My grandma and I went yesterday and my grandma got the milk mango popsicle and I got the watermelon one and they were both phenomenal. I also would highly recommend the Mexican corn, it's my absolute favorite and any of the agua frescas. Basically water based refreshments. I got the watermelon one, of course and it tastes like drinking through a watermelon with a straw. My grandma got the horchata and that is rice milk with cinnamon. We will probably be going back today, too!

There were so many noodles and I thought they were pretty tasty. I have a ton leftover. There were 3 potstickers and they were good also. I would come back for sure.

It's pretty noticeable from the big street especially since the truck color is orange. The food is extremely good. We had the shrimp and steak hibachi, dumplings and fried rice.
