Bigger farmers' market to reopen at seaport

South Street Seaport

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. [Downtown Express]
