The Q at Parkside Goes Greenmarket - SUNDAYS!!!
Fantastic news, y'all. A year after a failed attempt to bring a Farmer('s') Market to the Parkside Plaza, GrowNYC has announced this weekend will mark the beginning of the real deal. News, and flyer, from Frank Milliron of Parkside Court reached the Q just this morning. Lookie here:
To the whole Parkside crew - Rudy, Duane, In, Sonya, Quest, Amy, Kate, Desmond, Joyce, Shelley, Jackie...oh hell send me a list of names of folks involved in this effort and I'll give you a little e-hug.
Dang. This is such great news! And you can use your debit or EBT!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Omg this is amazing! Love the progression!
I wonder whether all vendors will accept debit cards. Not all the farmers/vendors at the Greenmarkets where I go (primarily Union Square, Borough Hall, and Grand Army Plaza) accept cards though.
Having it on Sunday is a good idea; it won't be competing against Saturday's Greenamrket at GAP.
if they have farm fresh eggs i'll be over the moon
Sunday is an excellent day to have this!
Debit cards seem like a hassle if every vendor needs a car reader. Just pop into the bodega and get some cash! A 2 dollar fee is a small price to pay for all them farm fresh vittles!!!
Accepting cards is not a hassle. All it takes is a smartphone app.
Some vendors have individual card readers but if you use your debit/credit card at the manager tent you can get tokens which you can use at the whole market (at parkside as well as the other markets mentioned). And your $2 fee goes to grownyc instead of the ATM. Thank you to everyone who came out in the heat today! :)
So excited that we have this! It was pretty quiet when I went yesterday morning, but probably not bad for a first day.
