A Look At The Boston Haymarket, Boston, Massachusetts

Haymarket in Boston is an open-air market on Blackstone, Hanover, and North Streets, next to the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway between the North End and Government Center.

The market is operated by the Haymarket Pushcart Association, which was founded in 1974 to negotiate with the city on issues such as waste removal and traffic. The roughly 50  Haymarket vendors sell fruit, vegetables, and seafood at very low prices.  The market offers "produce its vendors obtain from wholesale distribution terminals north of Boston," primarily the New England Produce Center in Chelsea.  Prices are low because the wholesale markets need to make room for new shipments arriving over the weekend.
The market is open "from dawn to dusk" every Friday and Saturday. The market's location and days of operation were established by a 1952 state law and by a 1978 city ordinance. Vendors are licensed by the City of Boston Inspectional Services Department.
The market is adjacent to the Haymarket MBTA station, which is served by two subway lines and many bus routes. Inexpensive validated parking for Haymarket shoppers is available at the Parcel 7 Garage. The discount was created as a "mitigation" measure for the impact of the Big Dig highway project on Haymarket.

In New Mexico, it’s the exact opposite. Farmers markets are twice, thrice the price of a grocery store. I think people go to farmers markets for the ambiance. And to see other like minded people.

American public spaces are typically so ugly. In contrast, public markets in Europe are typically beautiful

This Boston tradition is NOT your typical public market.
