A larger
version of the farmers’ market at the South Street Seaport that
launched last year will soon reopen with 11 vendors. The market will
open May 22 in the former fish market stalls on South Street, in the
building that currently houses the “Bodies” exhibit. The market is a
project of General Growth Properties, which recently declared
bankruptcy. Janell Vaughan, senior general manager of the seaport, said
the seaport is a steady revenue source for General Growth and that the
bankruptcy would not affect the market, which will stay open
through Sept. 26. The 11 vendors to sign up include Il Brigante, a restaurant on Front Street, Valley Shepherd
Creamery from Long Valley, N.J. and Bread Alone from Boiceville, N.Y.
