Pearl Alley Market Coming Soon!
For those of you who find it hard to get to Saturday markets after working all week and toting the kids to their Saturday morning soccer games, take heart. The Pearl Alley market is here to rescue you (if you work downtown). I really enjoy this particular market, because it offers an urban spot to pick up a few basics - especially if you forgot them on Saturda - and while you are there you can always enjoy a slice of My Mama's Sweet Potato Pie and lunch at El Arepazo. When all of the vendors are there and a band is playing, the market has a great feel. Pearl Alley takes place Tuesdays & Fridays throughout the summer. Here's the official press release - I'll see you there on June 3rd!!:
Join us on Tuesday June 3, 2008 as we open Pearl Market for the 2008 season!
The Market will open at it's usual 10:30a.m. with our Opening Ceremony featuring Mayor Michael B. Coleman to begin at 11:00a.m. After June 3, Pearl Market will be open every Tuesday and Friday through October from 10:30a.m through 2:00p.m.
Whether you’re one of our regulars or an occasional shopper, I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the changes we have in place for you this year. Some highlights include, an expanded farmers market offering a larger selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, more lunch and snack offerings, and farmers and merchants positioned on Broad Street to serve you.
Please feel free to forward this to your friends and colleagues to help spread the word.

Yay - I love this market...the produce is good but I must confess I love the jewelry vendors even more. I went every Friday last year and purchased several bracelets and earring sets for myself and to give as holiday gifts.

Yay! I am so glad it's coming back! Someone there had truly marvelous peaches, plus it was a good place to get strawberries from Crum's without waiting in a long line like in Worthington.
I still haven't tried El Arepazo! Your descriptions sound marvelous.
