the market was a lively place to visit, even on a cool april morning. it was recommended by some locals, and definitely worth a visit. there are your typical fruit/veggie/honey vendors, cheap import vendors, bagels, fantastic empanadas, seafood vendors, vineyards with samples...i could go on and on. it was fun and lively, and possibly the best thing to do early...

From Juan's flavorful empanadas to the assortments of every fresh edible, this was a circus for our eyes and ears. Cheeses, jellies, flowers, and candles were just some of the surprises among the colorful fruits and vegetables! http://www.cityofrochester.gov/publicmarket/
