I have written about the Detroit Eastern Market Tuesdays before. But, I love it so I am going to write about
it again. What I love about it, is that I can go on my lunch hour to
shop, get lunch and just enjoy the sites.
Yes, I love going to Eastern Market on Saturday, but Detroit Eastern Market Tuesdays is a bit more quaint, with all
that I need.
Vendors sell a variety of fruits, vegetable and herbs, some
of which are grown in the city of Detroit.
Also on sale are ready to eat items, like soup from the Russell Street
Deli, or you can grab a sandwich from the Green Zebra Truck. There are tables set up for eating and
sitting as well as an area for workshops.
A Yoga class was going on as I walked through the shed and it gave me a sense
that this was not just a place to grab some food and get out, but a place to
enjoy your afternoon.
When I arrived I went through my normal routine. I do one loop of the entire area and take a
look at what is being offered without buying a thing. Then I go back and get my lunch and other
items and sit down to eat. This Tuesday,
I grabbed a pint of fresh raspberries from the Blake's Farm stand ($2) and a
cup of gazpacho from the Russell Street Deli ($3). I paid only $5 for a fresh lunch and had a
great experience as well.
I plan to make the Tuesday Market a part of each week (if I can). And, I think you should too!
Detroit Eastern Market Tuesdays will run, July 9 through October 29 from 9am-3pm
