a couple of weeks ago, i treated my boyfriend to one of the greenmarket-to-table events sponsored by greenmarket and saveur magazine. it was an incredible experience; we ate amazing food and we both learned so much. since going, i've been doing my best to shop the greenmarket more often. i've picked up some fresh bread, salad greens, and potatoes, and i'm eagerly awaiting all the yummy fruits and vegetables to come this summer! it's a great place to grocery shop, at least for me, because i can control how much i want. so many times i end up throwing out perfectly good produce because i simply can't eat it all before it goes bad! plus, it's always a treat to eat seasonally.

i also wanted to post about it just to shout out to the events greenmarket does - tickets are really an amazing gift for a foodie. the next one is a meal and a tour of the union square market with chef michael anthony of gramercy tavern! check out the market website.
