What to do and see in New York, United States: The Best Flea & Street Markets

October 14, 2021 Renato Branum

New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

Troy Waterfront Farmers' Market

Reviewed By 800avivac - Rhinebeck, United States

I went to this market in August with my husband and special needs adult daughter. There was something for everyone including music, food, entertainment, and products for almost every interest. Being originally from NYC and Long Island I’ve had my share of street fairs. But this one was not overwhelmingly crowded and without access between aisles, like many of them are...also the shops remain open and accessible for browsing and that made it even more enjoyable. It was like a festival more than a fair..and my only regret is that I couldn’t get back one more time before the season ended...I’ll be back next spring!

Reviewed By O4573KNjohnd - Westfield, United States

We never drive by a farmers market when we are traveling, always good local treats and fun things to see and sample. This market was no exception. Great way to spend a hour or so, they had music and lot's of food choices. we decided to have lunch there before heading home. Got a very good pita pocket and chick pea salad from one vendor and fresh juice from another and enjoyed our lunch at one of the picnic tables, very close to the best lunch we had all weekend! also purchased a bag of jerky. Have fun!

Rochester Public Market

Reviewed By WMSGKB - East Lansing, United States

The market was everything I was hoping for and more. Within five minutes of being there I was greeted by a nice young man from a fresh fish still who gave me an introduction to the market when I told him I had never been. The variety of products was incredible, the efficient operation and friendliness of the people was delightful, and the atmosphere was lively and interesting. If I lived nearby I could see myself doing over half of my grocery shopping at the market every week. The next time I am anywhere near Rochester I will plan another visit.
