Fulton Stall Market

Did you pick up some fresh mozzarella from Bambino’s Fresh Pasta Co. this weekend and are wondering what to make?  Try this simple, fresh recipe.

Ingredients:

The sidewalks have been swept, signs have been repainted and new vendors have been recruited all in time for opening day–Saturday, May 12 at 11 am.

Stop in this Saturday and Sunday for a visit to your old favorites like Urban Rose Jewelry, Bugged Out, Mami Tere, Pizzevia, NY Farm 2 Door, Maupston Designs, the Poffertjes Man, Naima and Lorna’s Naturals.  Pay our new friends a visit while you’re there, too!  We’ve added Maimi Soni, traditional west African juices and breads, and Teaves Tea, selling a variety of teas.  Take a look at the selection of fresh pasta at Bambino’s Ravioli.

As always, follow us on Twitter at FultonMarketNYC; like us on Facebook at Fulton Stall Market; or on Google+ at Fulton Stall Market.

NEW HOURS

OPENING DAY – MAY 12!

NEW VENDORS

MORE NEWS COMING SOON!

See you at the market!

Well today was certainly an interesting weather day, nothing like moving hay and pumpkins through slush to make one feel like fall! Well, snow be darned, we’re game for tomorrow if you are. Of course we have some vendors who come from a bit more north than we do, so please stay tuned in the morning for news on whether we can celebrate one of our favorite holidays and the very last day of our season tomorrow, Sunday October 30th. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for up to the minute reports.

Fulton Stall Market is shaded. We’ve covered every week by the awning of the Fulton Market Building. Our vendors relish the shade every week but our customers will appreciate it this weekend. As temps have soared in NYC these past few days, make a point on Sunday to give your A/C a much-needed break and cool off with us at the Seaport, in the shade.

In recent news:

FSM was named a weekend market pick by one of our fave blogs, Markets of New York City. Follow them on Twitter @MarketsNYC for all the latest news in the world of markets (food, flea, and otherwise) in our fair city.

Congrats to Rebecca and the team at Brewla Bars. They were mentioned this week in not one, but two (2!) round-ups of frozen treats and how to beat the heat. See the link love here at Serious Eats and on the NY Times.

Please join us in welcoming new vendor, Lots O’ Lobstah to the Fulton Stall Market. We hope their presence brings a breath of fresh sea air to South Street on Sunday. If you can’t join us Sunday, find them elsewhere by following on Twitter @LotsOLobstah.

Nothing says summer like dill pickles from Sour Puss.

What a nice piece in the Daily News about our market!

Summer dining in NYC: From Brooklyn to Seaport, prime eats for outdoor summer treats

This article features a selection of our vendors including the fresh breads and treats of Grandaisy Bakery, local produce of Migliorelli Farm, pickled goodness from Sour Puss Pickles and original art of Naima Rauam. It is a real honor to be mentioned alongside such market big names as Smorgasburg. Our market is so tiny and tucked away, which is really what makes it different from all of the competition, and we know there is lots of competition.

Check out the final installment of our Sound Bites series this Sunday, July 17 featuring Hospitality. Grab a preview of the band and the show here on our curator, Bill Pearis’, web site. While you are downtown check out the new Beekman Beer Garden and the free music on the Northside pier, I hear it’s quite the “Beach Party.”

Sisterhands is back this week after last week’s hiatus so be sure and slurp a soda while you are shopping at the Seaport this Sunday.

Join us at the market today as we support local business. Buying local is buying American. All of out vendors are sourcing products locally, employing staff in NYC, and embracing America’s capitalistic roots!

Don’t miss:

hot dogs for your cookout from NY Farm 2 Door

wine for your host/hostess from Brooklyn Winery

ice pops for your kids from Brewla Bars

homemade ginger soda for yourself from Sisterhands Syrups

artisan pickles for our burgers from Sour Puss Pickles

baked goods and bread from Brown Bag Bakery and Grandaisy Bakery

NYSE on Wall Street near the Seaport's Fulton Stall Market

plus coffee, jewelry, art and fruits by Red Jacket Orchards.

With a gorgeous day ahead (clear and 82), a full vendor lineup (including old fashioned sodas, local produce, fresh juices, ice cream sandwiches, iced coffee, grass-fed burgers, local wine, et al) and live music this afternoon, we can’t think of a better day to scrap your plans and head down downtown. Maybe try hopping on the East River Ferry and walking up from Pier 11. Or walk the bridge for the scenic route plus exercise.

At 2pm join us for a live music. Bill Pearis, curator of our own Sound Bites series, will DJ for a bit, then My Teenage Stride will play around 3pm. Bill interviewed the band on all things food and music, read it here on his blog. Apparently cheese and onions was the resounding theme. The rest of the series features:

Sunday, July 3 – The Hairs

Sunday, July 10 – pow wow!

Sunday, July 17 – Hospitality

See you this Sunday (or every Sunday) for a lovely summer day. We’ll be here eating grassfed burgers and eating pizza bianca from Grandaisy, as usual.

Kids are getting all of the attention lately. One of our favorite vendors, Brewla Bars, was tagged in Daily Candy Kids today! Congrats. Here is what they have to say about Rebecca’s creative and delicious frozen treats:

“We thought we’d never utter the words, but it is possible to have too much ice cream. If daily trips to the creamery have you feeling lactose intolerant, change things up with one of these refreshing alternatives. . .For a frozen treat that also packs a little mom-appropriate pick-me-up, try Brewla. Most of the popsicles are brewed with coffee or tea. Need a little extra lift? The Remedy (raspberry green tea) and the Buzz (sweetened espresso) give you a shot of caffeine.”

For more family-friendly ideas for the upcoming weekend. Join us at the Seaport on Saturday as Sesame Street’s Gordon and Elmo perform LIVE on the stage for FREE at Children’s Day at the South Street Seaport. Check out the Website or visit them on Facebook for real time updates.

At my local farmer’s market yesterday, bright rhubarb spears seems to spring from every table. At our own market, Red Jacket’s heaping pail on our opening weekend had me thinking pie. I knew the pre-made Pillsbury crust my mom left in my freezer wouldn’t cut it but the lesson on leaf lard and pie dough I read was too labor intensive for my summer cooking style. I might have lucked out.

My friend Ilene splits her pork CSA with me from Flying Pigs Farm. Turns out rendering the lard isn’t necessary as the pickup this week including pre-made pie dough (no Pillsbury here, sorry Mom). So a rhubarb pie might be on the agenda for this week after all. I am gonna try this recipe from the Times (as tagged via Amanda Hesser’s Twitter feed @amandahesser).

Today at the market spend $25 with NYFarm2Door and get 10% off; spend $50 and get 20% off. We’ll be grilling their dogs and burgers again this week topped with Sour Puss Pickles and Migliorelli’s lettuce. I hear Grandaisy Buns might make an appearance. Welcome back 2010 vendor Brown Bag Bakery this weekend. Liz is bringing Bacon Cheddar Scones and Bourbon Almond Tarts for you. See you today at the market.
