West Palm Beach Green Market..Something for Everyone!

I was finally able to take a few hours on Saturday and go to the Green Market located downtown West Palm Beach.  It moved over to the new Waterfront so I was anxious to check it out since it changed locations.   I was not disappointed!  There was a lot more space for more vendors, with plenty of options for fresh flowers,
 fresh produce all locally grown and great food to choose from.

Started off the morning with a shot of espresso from the booth at Havanas, which is a favorite for the locals for great Cuban food.  Check out their restaurant off of Dixie Hwy.  They have a window so you can order from the street, and it's open 24 hrs.  Next I tried out the apple cider donuts or you can choose from all the pastries from the local bakeries.  Grab a loaf of fresh bread or fresh pasta for dinner.  One of my favorite aspects of the Green Market is the wide range of flowers to choose from.  I got a beautiful orchid from R & R Orchids, http://rrorchids.com.   They have a great selection of orchids to choose from.

Make sure to park in the Banyan Street garage which is free for the Green Market. The new spot was wonderful and exactly what downtown West Palm Beach needed. The vibe was relaxing and inviting with friends bumping into one another with great conversation, music and espresso filling the air.   I couldn't think of a better way to start the weekend off!
