In my searching for places, I recently came across this place- New Amsterdam Market. They are trying to make it officially happen in the old Fulton Fish Market, with a vision of having a chef's market, farmer's market and speciality market. The idea of keeping an area that was originally a fish market, that has history that goes way back, is such an ideal place to have a marketplace. As of right now, the market is taking place in the parking lot in front of the old fish market. The two market sheds of the Fulton Fish Market have been empty since 2005, and that is where the new market is trying to expand into.
As of now, the market is only open on Sundays from 11am to 4pm, located on South Street between Beekman Street and Peck Slip. Unfortunately, there is not set start date for 2013 and are waiting for an appeal. Please sign this petition to help take action. The New York City Council is holding a hearing on the future of the South Street Seaport on Thursday, March 14 at 9:30am, in the City Hall vicinity. If you can come please let us know at rsvp@newamsterdammarket.org
Look at this amazing list of vendors!
