THE PERFECT SANCTUARY! The Riverwalk area is beautiful. It is very well designed with viewing areas, swings, picnic tables and plenty of shade. During our first visit, we arrived on the marina side and visited the Marina store. This is a great place to obtain information and purchase souvenirs and refreshments. You can also pick up a free map of the immediate area, (including downtown), and a schedule for the boat tours. We decided not to take a boat tour because they only offered afternoon hours when it is very hot outside. We wanted an early morning tour around 9 am or earlier. We visited the Riverwalk again when we attended the Farmer’s Market. We were able to explore the park and enjoy sitting on the swing and at the picnic table shaded by the mature trees. It is just so calm and peaceful here. Yes, you may encounter a few homeless men here but they are harmless and are in no way threatening. This is just a very comfortable place for them to hang out in this heat. The breeze generated by the trees was very inviting. There is a little park for the children to enjoy. Today I was lucky enough to observe the train crossing the bridge. It completed my Norman Rockwell picture! I

John Hope Franklin Center for Reconciliation – Menu with Prices – 322 N Greenwood Ave, Tulsa

I was in town for business and asked my mom to join me for a few days. Almost instantly, I panicked. What was I going to do with Mom in a city that I had never visited? Google helped me stumble across this park. Then, I spent hours in an internet rabbit hole researching the history. The day we visited the park, the weather was perfect. The park was clean, thoughtfully landscaped and well maintained. It felt tranquil and we were able to enjoy some time strolling together and independently while reflecting and talking. I even impressed Mom with my (recently acquired) knowledge. This park is a peaceful oasis that is easily accessible and offers free parking. We walked across the street to see all the street murals on the buildings and bridge overpasses too. Glad we found his place.

The Downtown Farmers Curb Market – Menu with Prices – 200 N Kentucky Ave, Lakeland

We have visited the Lakeland Farmers Market many times and always find a good variety of vendors presenting their products. You can find local honey, bakery items, coffee, fresh squeezed juice, sea food, plants, fruit and vegetables, organics, clothing, live entertainment and and crafts. In addition there are a nice selection of shops and restaurants all along the street to enjoy. Downtown Lakeland is beautiful to visit and especially so during the Saturday Farmers Market.

Old Town Scottsdale Farmers Market – open October through May – Menu with Prices – 3806 N Brown Ave, Scottsdale

I am not a big Farmers Market person, and I’ve only been to a few other ones in the Phoenix area, but this is my favorite one. I like the VARIETY of vendors that they have. There’s several unique, local products here that you just don’t find at other Farmers Markets. Honestly, I’m not sure if the produce is any better/there’s more of it compared to other Farmers Markets, but what they have is always fresh and there’s a good variety. This is an especially great Farmers Market for already made items (breakfast, pastries, etc…). There was a begniet lady there last time I came (wish I can remember her name…I lost her card) who made such yummy pastry! One thing about this Farmers Market is that it’s very compact & stands are very well organized, which is something I like. The lot it’s set up on isn’t THAT big (compared to other Farmers Market lots I’ve been to), but there’s deceptively quite a few vendors. Also, because they are right in Old Town a lot of local restaurants in the area set up stands here to sample food (and hand out coupons).

Nina’s Dandy Menu with Prices 1 Prince St, Alexandria

A friend and I had a great lunch cruise on Nina’s Dandy. The captain was fun and engaging in regards to the informational cruise along the Potomac River. The staff were nice and served beverages and your entrees promptly. The boat itself seemed to be a little bit run-down and old, but it didn’t affect the cruise tour itself. I had the Filet of Cod, which was tasty, with a side of steamed vegetables. My friend had the Basil Chicken, and it was solid, too. Both were a little bland, but adding salt and pepper did the trick. Only iced tea were free refills, but other fountain drinks are by the glass. Most of the seafarers were of an older crowd, but it was an enjoyable, peaceful, and a relaxing boat ride. Don’t expect the Odyssey – this is a simple, straight shooter of a boat, with solid entrees with a great relaxing ambiance. The bathrooms were clean, which was a total plus! The 2.5 hours went by quickly, and it was the perfect amount of time to mosey about the boat, especially on the top deck, to catch the riverside scenery. They also offer dinner cruises with a more extensive menu and hosts part functions as well. Ms. Andreea Sporea, the Wedding Coordinator, made smooth changes to our schedule when requested. Great customer service! +Filet of Cod +2.5 hour Potomac River cruise +departs in Old Town

Garden of the Gods Visitor Center – Menu with Prices – 1805 N 30th St, Colorado Springs

The park was smaller than we were expecting and didnâ??t have as many stunning views as we were hoping so we were a little disappointed initially compared to some of the other parks visited in Colorado. However, there were a lot of great things about the park as well. First of all it was free and small enough that it was not overwhelming. It is a park where you can spend as much or as little time as you want and still feel like you had a fulfilling experience. It is easy to drive through the whole park and see the beautiful rock formations without getting out of your car. Or you could park and hike through the whole park and climb up some of the rocks for pictures. There were several picnic table areas and lots of people walking their dogs. We saw several deer as well. Overall, great place to take the kids to burn off energy and get some great photos without investing a whole day or lots of money to do so. I would recommend going through the park if you have the time.

Westover Farmers Market Menu with Prices 1644, Westover Library Plaza, 2944, N McKinley Rd, Arlington

I can’t believe there’s only 2 reviews for this farmers market. I find almost everything I need here. There is good quality meat of all different types (beef, bison, pork, chicken etc.) and a variety of cuts. I even can find organ meats here which can be hard to come by in a grocery store and they are grass-fed and/or pasture-raised. They have a wide variety of fruits and veggies and even fermented food. Another plus about this farmers market is finding a parking space is easy and it is never crowded. Even though you might spend more on some of the products than you would in a grocery store it’s nice to know you are supporting local farmers and getting a better quality….which in my opinion is worth it.

Pelican’s SnoBalls – Menu with Prices – 5846 Ramsey St, Fayetteville

Pelican’s Snoball’s on Ramsey street close to Methodist College. Perfect location with plenty of parking and a park like area with trees and picnic tables. Who doesn’t like shaved ice with flavors from coffee to dill pickle to papaya and nearly everything in between. it’s a neat little place to spend some time with the grandchildren. It’s close by and I like it good enough that I get a coconut or banana snow ball at least two times a week.

Universal Universe Playground – Menu with Prices – 2201-2249 6th St, Sacramento

Cute park next to the Sacramento Farmer’s market. It has swings, a playground, basketball court, three tennis courts and bathrooms. Plenty of picnic tables.

Petit Harvest – Menu with Prices – 1315 3rd Street Promenade Suite B, Santa Monica

Healthy eats in the SocialEats food hall. The concept is that the ingredients are fresh and gives a vibe that they were plucked from the farmers market. Being that Michelin Star chef Graham Elliot is associated with it, I had high expectations. I ordered the farmers market salad ($8) and added chicken (+$4) while my coworker got the beyond burger. The girl wouldn’t give us the Santa Monica worker discount because she said it’s only if you work on the promenade. Similar to the other restaurants in the hall, you pay first and then find a table while you wait for the buzzer to ring. There are some tables around the corner if you don’t want to sit at the counter. My salad was good but it’s size was incongruent with how filling it actually is. In other words, it looked like it would be filling but I still felt hungry and went back to the office and ate a half bagel (whoops). The salad itself was good although it was extremely light on the dressing so some of the vegetables were dry. I liked the corn kernels (found on the bottom) because they were sweet and popped with juiciness when you chewed them. The chicken was also good – it was shredded and moist, and had a sweetness which reminded me of a chicken salad you’d get at a picnic. However for $12 you could go to tender greens and get a more substantial salad, so there’s a trade off. There is free truffles popcorn if you check in on yelp. Overall it’s a convenient place for healthy eats, but I’d definitely add chicken (if you eat meat) to the farmers market salad and if you get the burger, know that it’s also on the smaller side and you might want to get a side to share so that you’re full. Otherwise this is good for a light meal.

Cityseed Inc – Menu with Prices – 817 Grand Ave, New Haven

Wooster Square CitySeed Farmers Market: * Plenty of on street Parking available on Academy St, Wooster St, and Olive St (right around the block) * Cards & Cash excepted but please read bellow. * Dog/family friendly only one block width. Bulky Strollers probably aren’t needles unless you are walking here from a greater distance, however they may be helpful to store bags of purchasing a lot of food. (Most people used small collapsible carts, to hold their reusable fabric totes) * Open 9-1 The farmers market in Wooster Square is an excellent place to spend a Saturday morning. It is kid friendly and dog friendly market (dogs must be controlled, and well behaved on a leash). Children apparently don’t need to be on a leash but I suggest proper training and vaccinations before you set them free to roam, as my 3 month old puppy was better behaved than one darling child today. With that said just be aware that many food items are within the reach of children. Cards are excepted only at some booths. There is also an option to buy $1 or $5 wooden tokens to use as cash which can be purchased using a debit or credit card. There are no other denominations, but don’t worry as vendors or trucks will give you back change in regular dollar bills and coins. There is an information booth located at the front entrance where you can buy the tokens (usually the third tent on the left towards Wooster park). They also accept SNAP, if you are on the program (which is wonderful to see them support The market size is small but with plenty of variety of cheeses, breads, fruits, veggies, meats (including goat), dog treats, food trucks or tents, fresh eggs (duck eggs included), shell fish, honey, and sweets like baked goods. There is also a tent selling cut flowers in a vase (beautifully set) from $10-17. The cost is what is expected at a farmers market. It is in line with other organic shops. If your willing to spend money on vitamins and over the counter medications for everyday pains and healthcare needs, why not spend the money on nutritious foods that can prevent the need for these other consumables. The location, in a picturesque New England neighborhood. Beautiful trees and Wooster Square park right across the street. A great place to sit on a bench and enjoy some of the treats you purchased at the market. Food Hall Suggestions 9/9 * Fresh Apple cider donuts from Sweet Madeline’s ($1 each, cinnamon sugar on top) * Mango #5 smoothie from Bowl’s Creations ($6) * A Dozen eggs from Sugar Maple Farms ($6) * Produce from anywhere * Shortbread Cookies From Savor $10 (super expensive, tasty but that price is not equivalent to what you are getting) I suggest having a sample of the coconut ginger cookie. These may be good as a gift, however I simply can’t forgo spending $10 on a small bag of bite sized shortbread cookies when I can buy triple the weight of the cookies in vegetables for that price. The bags are sealed shut which is fine until you try to keep it to get a cookie out and rip the entire bag, don’t be fooled by the zip tie used as a decoration. The best part about this farmers market is being able to connect with the vendors. Many will have business cards available if you are interested in contacting them for specific requests or orders! Important things to know: * There isn’t much seating available. 2-3 small tables for 2-3 people close to the food tent/trucks that are always full. The park across the street does have a few benches to sit down and relax. Possibly bring a blanket for a child to sit on. Just know that while Wooster park is not a dog park it is used as such by almost to entire neighborhood. Well trained dogs are often given some freedom off their leashes, and owners will be walking their dogs frequently. Look out for dog poop! * During busy times there really isn’t any great place to stand and talk with others. Everywhere you go you will most likely be in the way of someone, just be aware of your surro

Ate’s Filipino Kitchen – Menu with Prices – 900 Rosa L Parks Blvd, Nashville

The best way to get acquainted with a city is to go to their largest farmers’ market. Who am I kidding? They’re all basically the same, and chances are that you’re staring and snapping rather than buying if you’re a tourist since you don’t have a kitchen to go home to. In other words, you’re probably the bane of the farmers looking to supplement their income. Regardless, Jamie W. and I came here on an early morning to get a flavor of what Nashville’s produce would be like in early summer. Sure, it’s not in the pantheon of farmers’ markets like Seattle’s Pike Place Market (review: http://bit.ly/2rvMSFw) or London’s Borough Market, but hey, it was still quite an attraction worth your attention. Parking was somewhat painful on Saturday as the lot is limited and spaces are at a premium. What’s nice about it’s central Nashville location, however, is that it’s open year round until 8PM and it’s next to the Bicentennial Mall State Park, another attraction worth your time. The produce is on display under the two Farm Sheds where 150 farmers sell their bounty, and lucky us that we were there just as the peak season was beginning (photo: http://bit.ly/2JzfJWo). Strawberries were well represented (photo: http://bit.ly/2t1YXUJ) as well as tomatoes (photo: http://bit.ly/2sPusCo) and herbs (photo: http://bit.ly/2t2ZA0d). Another part of the sheds is devoted to Nash Trash, their flea market area where you can find plenty of bric-a-brac and even handmade soap (photo: http://bit.ly/2HFDMNH). There’s s huge nursery, the Garden Center, at one end of the market (photo: http://bit.ly/2t2r0Ug), but arguably the most popular congregation area was on the other side where the Market House sits, an expansive world’s fair of eateries where a Jamie were considering the options – Korean, Indian, Mexican, Jamaican, Memphis BBQ, Neapolitan pizza. We settled on hefty, delicious chicken gyros salads at Chicago Gyros (photo: http://bit.ly/2MjOmgZ) and soothing au laits afterward at Farm City Coffee (photo: http://bit.ly/2Jx4vli). There was plenty of seating in the central area where the rotation of diners was quite brisk (photo: http://bit.ly/2JyPuzu). There weren’t any fish being thrown around nor rarefied produce available nowhere else, but this farmers’ market satisfies most thoroughly.
