Green City Market Lincoln Park

The atmosphere and farmers - first and foremost. Everyone is happy and not pushy (sellers and buyers). Asking questions and hearing their stories about their raised elks, the lettuce season, their farm - just makes the food that much tastier. We make sure to buy from multiple booths. My favorite is after we load up two gigantic canvas bags we stick around for lunch which is some of the best in Chicago. Strawberry and Mint smoothies, the famous crepes, burgers (raised humanely) grilled and served with raw Cheddar cheese spread - all food is from the farmers at the market and very yummy. You eat and relax in the main area with the great live band. The location is perfect and best of all they are open pretty much all year. Finish off the visit with the fresh flower booths to take home. When they start wilting you actually get excited because you know it is almost time for the market again.
