Reviews for: Broadway Market Farmers Market

I spent the first 19 years of my life 2 streets away from the Broadway Market. My parents had no vehicle so All of our produce/meat/bread was purchased daily from the various vendors.

What stands today is a mere shadow of what was many years ago. There were actual farmers in the rear parking area. Ducks, chickens and fresh produce prevailed.

There is very limited access to fresh now. The majority, if not all, produce purveyors purchase their goods from the Niagara Food Terminal. They don't grow. It's not their stuff however they lay claim and take credit. Also charge high prices.

The Specialty Shops adhere to an ethnicity that was not evident in the original growth of the Market. All in all, it's a nice place. But it's not as it used to be. Keep that in mind.

In addition to preserving a rich local history, the Broadway Market Farmers Market understands the importance of making fresh, wholesome food available to the Buffalo and WNY community. The BMFM's commitment to the community is outstanding.

Their products are of high quality and their products are affordable, also they located in the heart of the city of buffalo.

It is the best place - lots of heritage and history there and the best merchandise too

I love all of the home-cooked and local products that they sell. It is a great place to go!

The Broadway Market is a great original market, with a strong community to it and good prices.

The produce is always fresh and there is a friendly atmosphere. The Broadway market is a stable in our community.

Rich history and cultural heritage, generations of family tradition, friendly community gathering place, AFFORDABLE quality local produce, unique ethnic foods, accessibility....it's in the heart of the inner city!

Everyone knows and loves the Broadway Market. Tradition is alive and well there.

They have a great variety of stands ranging from vegetables and fruit to homemade holiday decorations. They have everything you are looking for during each holiday throughout the year.

Wide selection of foods. Very friendly vendors. The Save-a-Lot located inside is very convenient and has great prices.

The Broadway Market has been a Buffalo tradition since before I was born. Today more than anything a positive and wholesome tradition should be maintained for the next generation to appreciate. In this age of plastic substitutions and microwavable ill-health, the fresh food market is the healthiest and the most economical way to feed a substantially large family. DO IT YOURSLF, IS BEST.

The Broadway Market is a local landmark! It had great food, cultural value and is a great place to show the kids there are places to shop for great food besides Tops and Wegmans!

They cater to the everyday person, no need to go far to get what you need at a great price. People are friendly and welcoming.... a pleasure to go to!

I remember when I was a kid, I use to love going to the Broadway Market and I still go.

Exceptional value; Exceptional products; Exceptional and historical value for our entire community

I'm from Buffalo and have the best memories of shopping at the Broadway market on weekends and before Easter with the little butter lambs. They have the best meat market and candy shops too! You could get an excellent bowl of soup with delicious bread too while you were shopping.

The broadway market has been a staple in my life for years. I remember when my mom and dad use to shop there. My grandfather was a huxter (someone who sold fruit and veggies) they use to have ton of farmers coming out to sell. Then we would go see my dad who worked at Satlers across the street. I always, always go every year with my family at easter. Such a wonderful place. Loads of great memories of family that is no longer here.

My family and I have been going to the Broadway market as long as I can remember. I am 46 and my family still goes there. It is a Buffalo tradition and it has real down home charm.

A place for Buffalonians to gather, where food is fresh and community grows closer. The local varieties of food, and friends are eclectic. The unity of the city reflects the "salad bowl" of our country...a brighter fresher dish because of strong individual flavors!

Family tradition! My Grandmother and Mom were born on Sobieski St., shopping at the Braodway Market has been almost a 100 year tradition in my family. It is cool to think that I am able to shop and procure wonderful foods just like my great grandmother did! A City Treasure for sure!

The best of everything, and the tradition of our great Buffalo history. Always a delicious experience!

To this day I still go to the broadway market. I live further away then before but it still means alot. The people the food and hopefully again some day the community.

It has been a staple in my family for the last 50 years. My parents took me there as a child and I continue the tradition with my children. Part of my family will die if the Broadway Market ceases to exist!

I love the broadway market,been going there since I was a kid and I'm in my 50's now so thats a long time

Have gone to the Broadway market since I was a kid. Still proud to say I work just two blocks away from it, and can go there for lunch!

Fresh meats and a great atmosphere- it has been a family tradition for three generations in our family!

I have such great memories of going there with my mom and my grandma as a kid. It is one of my favorite places to visit when I head back into Buffalo for a visit.

I grew up in Buffalo and went there at least once a month when I was a child.. I just love the place.. There is nothing like the smell when you walk in the door...

I was a little girl living nearby when my Grandma and Aunts would take me to the bustling Broadway Market in the 1970s. I have such vivid memories of the market, it's people, the tradition that makes the Broadway Market the landmark that it is today. I frequent the market often, and am enjoying it's revival. Please give our market the prize. :)

Its the best especially around the holidays...nothing says family & tradition like holidays at the market.

The Broadway market has the potential to be an anchor for Fillmore/Broadway revitalization. It offers a great facility w/ parking that can serve as both a retail and a social hub for the neighborhood.

I support the Broadway Market Farmers Market because all of the produce and flowers come from local farms in our area. Also because they are fresh and very reasonable in price in comparison to other markets and stores.

I am of a european heritage and would like to see the tradition go on. America should not be a melting pot, but a place where every culture,nation and heritage can stay as they are and live together side by side in peace.

As our country's people are becomimg more and more the same in this 'melting pot' we still need to retain our family history and values. I grew up south of Buffalo, so my trips into the city were few, but most did include a trip to the Broadway Market. Mom and Dad would get foods and items that my dad would use to make his polish sausage. I can still remember the smells, the people, the noise and what, to a little girl, seemed to be another world. And it was...it was a grouping of mostly Eastern European who had immigrated to the US and now were making a living 'selling their wares'. Over the years children have taken over the sppots from their parents, others have moved in while others moved on. The market is a living thing as are most markets like this. They need to be kept alive.

As a child growing up in Buffalo, we always went to the Broadway Market. I love the different items they carry for the Polish community and enjoyed the different candy as a child.

Because its one of the only places in buffalo that I remember as a kid and it keeps on going. Though the neighborhood has changed immensely it hasent made the strong polish turn and run away. I'm back to buffalo a few times a year and I almost always stop and pick things up for my trip back.My mother was born on Gibson street in 1915 and I remember the stories she told me of the old neighbohood and its a shame that it couldn't stay close to the way it has in Kaiser town.Kaiser town seems to have stayed to the original heritage. I am sure that all people living near the Broadway market need it to stay.There are so few places to shop in the area,especially for our speciality items.Please keep these people in business. Its comforting to be able to see the same vendors yeAR AFTER YEAR.

Great place to go. Great memories of going there with my grandfather when I was little too!

I have been going there for over 50 years with all my family.. I've entertained ther with the Polka Band on several occasions over the years, and many of the old tennants sponsored my Goral Boys radio show wxrl 40 years ago.. best meats, and baked goods in the East!

First and foremost, it's really the only source of locally grown meats, produce, etc for a large part of Buffalo's urban community. Secondly, it is a major part of the history of the city's Polonia community. And thirdly, it is one of the coolest places to shop in all of WNY!

I know this market since Iam a kid Mom took us there every Saturday. I love the THE BROADWAY MARKET. when I got older and had my children I took them to the Market. My late husband lived near the Market and his Grama took him there. My Grandmother took my Mother athere as a Child she pulled a coaster wagon all the the to and from the Market .So you see how much it means to me if they win.

Good prices,great quality, local venders, its a neighborhood thing. Dig?? I knew that you would.

My mother and father use to take me there when I was just a kid back in the 50's.

Grew up going there and continue to do so every year. More than a market, its a tradition

When I lived in Buffalo and played football for the Buffalo Bills in the 60's and 70's, I loved to visit the Broadway Market on my off days. I was always amazed at the selection and freshness of the products available.

I have been going to the Broadway Market since I was a kid and I am now near 60. Very few things in life last that long with the quality of good food and wonderful memories that the Broadway Market provides.

THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE, ALONG WITH THE IMPACT TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, AND ITS RICH CULTURAL DIVERSITY ARE WHAT PROPEL THE BROADWAY MARKET ABOVE ALL THE OTHERS!

quantity and quality of the items plus the seasonal items are unmatched, thatn is the foods for the christmas and easter season.

I love the variety of fresh foods and meats, and there are somethings you can only get there. When the Christmas and Easter Seasons come around it is traditional for all my children and grandchildren to visit.

Historical part of our city that must be preserved. Wonderful childhood memories.

its always like shopping with family. good food ,good conversation,and fresh ripe fruits and vegetables.Ilove the fact that i am tottally helping out New York states farmers and their family.Above all else thats the "AMERICAN WAY", Ifeel great about our Broadway Market Farmers Market

Broadway Market has been in my life since a youong child way back in the 50s. This was a weekly event as part of our family groceries. It is not as large as it was then, but it maintain the quality of meats and veggies as then. It is wonderful at holidays as even old busineses w return with their wares. It has been declared a historial landmark and is on the list for rehab in the community. It is a JOY

Been around forever with a plethora of selections of fresh fruits, vegetables, fresh meats, great prices

When my wife and I are in Buffalo, we always go to the Broadway Market. It has some of our favorite foods and treats that we remember enjoying as children.

Broadway Market is a long-time special place to shop with a nice variety of food/merchandise catering to both young and old.

I feel that it is very important to support our local farmers that work hard all year to provide this community with fresh produce and to add a warm friendly enviroment along with it.

When I think "family traditions", I think Broadway Market. We grew up going to the Market to prepare for every holiday. I will always remember all of fun times I had when I was little going with my parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents. Even though we have moved away, I still long for the sights and sounds of my childhood. I hope that when I have children I will be able to make special trips with them to Buffalo, more specifically, the Broadway Market so that they can have lasting memories and traditions as well. No other place compares to the Boradway Market!

There is a sense of family, tradition, and a simpler time when you walk into the Broadway Market! Products are fresh, home-grown and home-made. The vendors are hardworking Western New Yorkers and it is a proud part of my Polish heritage that I plan to pass on to my little one!

I grew up with the Broadway Market. It became part of my life.I still go there at least 3 times aweek.Just hoping to find something new,and still buy meats and other things.

It reminds me of growing up as my parents, aunts and grandparents took me there. I still go there a few times a year and take the younger ones now as a tradition. Memories of the food and always going there every Good Friday! Just walking in the place and the smells remind me of my youth, and I hope to pass that on tradition.

Memories and wonderful food... pierogis (cheese only please), kielbasa, butter lambs, sponge candy, rye bread, and horseradish.

I have amazing memories of my Polish grandmother taking all of us to the market every Saturday. The smells, the sights, the history would wrap me in a warm blanket of tradition and love. As an adult, we now take our children to the market, and condinue the traditions of past generations. The market is in an economically depressed section of Buffalo, and struggles to remain open. $5,000 would serve as a much needed shot in the arm to help keep this slice of history available for future generations to share.

The Broadway Market is a historical and cultural center. When shopping there, not only is one shopping but also paying homage to the efforts of keep up its tradition. It is a center of Polish culture, and the heart of Polonia (Broadway-Fillmore district). Also, it is appropriate to support efforts of a farmer's market, since the farm on Wilson Street is a few blocks away. Both, along with the Central Terminal, the beautiful churches, and other landmarks big and small will serve in a long-overdue East Side renaissance. Dyngus Day is a start. The Farmer's Market will take the plan further into fruition.

I have been going to the Market since I was just a baby. There is nowhere else around where you can get good food and great people all in one place. With all of the malls and supermarkets, The Broadway Market is a gem. We need to keep it here and intact.

It has been a tradition for my family!!! I truly believe that we should support all local growers and businesses. You never get the same quality or taste from commercially grown products. America was founded on Agriculture. Our technology may have advanced, but the tried and true forms of farming have proved to be simply rewarding. Taste something locally grown and you shall experience it, yourself!

The Broadway market has unique items you cant find anywhere else and lets not forget the beautiful Polish culture that is fluent throughout the market.

The Broadway Market has not only been a historical jewel in WNY, but it provides us an opportunity to support our own community.

My family has a hiustory their. We have all worked their over the years. It also supports our ethnic community by selling things you can't find else where

I love the atmosphere going there as a kid and Love the memories & the stories it brings back for me. You walk in the market and the smells instantly take you away. It's close by my home and i shop market vendors whenever possible.

It is a great place "all" year round. Not just for the Easter and xmas holidays.

It's a tradition in a neighborhood that has seen better days, but the Broadway Farmers Market is a jewel!

I support the Broadway Market because shopping there has been a family tradition for generations. I love all the Polish food and items. I love to support the economy with hope in keeping the market alive and growing.

To give a better place for people to shop and congregate in the East Sie neighborhood.

it is essential to support our local farmers markets and locally owned businesses, and the broadway market has a long history of supporting our community....BUY LOCAL!!!!

Tradition, but also I have lived in bigger cities with lesser markets...we have a unique asset in Buffalo that needs to be promoted and preseveed!

The Broadway Market is all about tradition. It is a market your grandparents went to.

My husbands family sold produce there for years and years...it is a great memory for him and now the market has just become an important part of our family life!!!! Long live the Broadway Market!

the broadway market is not only an important part of buffalo's history and a cherished place for holiday shopping, but a wonderful source of fresh produce and other goods for residents who reside in that neighborhood

I grew up in Buffalo and loved going to the Broadway Market (and Sattlers at 998 Broadway!)

I take my daughter there once a month to have breakfast just like my grandmother, and mother did with me. This is a very special place to Buffalo handed down from generation to generation. You can not beat the polish food found here or the bakery items anywhere else in the world.

Great market in the heart of one of Buffalo's oldest and most diverse neighborhoods. The best polish food this side of Krakow.

The Broadway Market is a special place - filled with memories, food, family and potential!

I lived in Buffalo for 20 years, and shopped there regularly. The vendors sell the freshest produce and spices, the most delectable breads and pastries, and the best pierogi outside of Poland.

I grew up going to the Broadway Market with my parents and still go every Easter...it is a great place and I hope it continues forever!!

It is a landmark in every sense of the word: historical and cultural. It is something of which Buffalo should be proud. We lose so much of our history. This should continue.

This land mark market provides families with ethnic products unavailable else where. With a diverse community and region this market is an oasis, a light house if you may, that was our fathers' father place to obtain a piece of homeland that we celebrated everyday and every holiday to such an extent that I would be hard pressed to do without such a place!! The sights, sounds, and smells as well as tastes are what I sought secondly when returning home from a long absence and if someone out of town requests something most of the time you will find it there, fresh.

The history of the Broadway Market makes it a treasure of Buffalo and WNY. The market is one of the oldest open markets of its kind in the country and continues to be an important symbol of a brighter time in this community's history. While fairly small, $5,000 can be put to much use at and for the Broadway Market. The market is the centerpiece of a neighborhood and if that neighborhood is to ever revitalize, the market will be a big reason why. One should consider this award as a down-payment on a better future for Buffalo and particularly the E. Side.

The Broadway Market is rich with history for the Buffalo Area and has touched many generations and cultures in this region for over a century. This award would help fill so many needs for this historic site which remains open thanks to the numerous volunteers and their countless hours of support. This is a very worthwhile cause.

I support the Broadway Market Farmers Market because I have many fond memeories of shopping there with my Grandmother in the 1960's. This long-time market is a venerated institution and is instrumental in allowing folks to buy local produce which is far superior to trucked in California quasi-fruits and veg. Thanks Broadway market!

I would support any local Farmers. I believe it is the community that makes or breaks the farmers. It is hard enough to harvest crops and I would definately support the locals.

Great market, great food, uniquely Buffalo! It is "the" place to get Polish food.

Filled with an atmosphere of tradition and old-time neighborhood comerce. An experience that will last a lifetime.

The Broadway Market is a historical gem- it's as much a staple of Buffalo (in its heyday) as our architecture anf cultural & performing arts

Its always been part of my families holiday celebration and is an important landmark for the City of Buffalo. It would be a shame to see it close.

This multi-cultural market has served this community and its residents for over 100 years- we should all now support it!

Visiting the Broadway Market is a tradition in my family. The feeling that I get when I walk in there is like no other feeling in the world. It's a great place with great people.

It's been a pilar of that community for a long time and should continue to be there!

The Broadway Market is a symbol of community effort and citizens who care to provide outstanding quality of products and service to there fellow neighbors, thank God for the Broadway Farmers Market.

Broadway Market is a staple of a great community, Buffalo. Generations of Buffalonians grew up with "The Market" and pass this tradition on today.

My family went to the Market all the time when they grew up on Sycamore St. It's a great tradition that should not fade away. Buffalo is know for the Broadway Market. Too bad the neighborhood has gone down.
