Riverdale Y Sunday Market — Attraction in New York

For a local market this is wonderful. Awesome, well priced produce from three vendors.

Even with reservation there were long lines from previous time slots. To avoid lines and waiting you can pre-order from done vendors (check website) and pickup anytime from dedicated stand (no need to wait in line). Lines were shorter second week and everything moved faster...
