Not quiet so Farmers Market of Chelsea
It took me a while to figure out that I did find the Farmers Market of which my concierge at one of the Chelsea Hotels I was staying at, told me about. I was literally looking for a Farmer’s Market. I passed by it twice, until I asked around where I could find the market, that it’s supposed to be here somewhere. The person I asked was kind in not making me look ridiculous when he said I was standing in it.
Let me explain a little, Chelsea Farmers Market no vegetables stalls, instead it’s a conglomerate of businesses arranged next to each other in a square. There is a bookshop, a tobacconists, some restaurants, an organic food shop where I found a great selection of marmalades. In the bookshop I found a rare bound copy of ‘The Book of Tea’ . I’ve been looking for a copy for years, randomly asking about if anyone had a copy. This was definitely a sign that I was in a really good bookstore. I ate at a Spanish restaurant, where I had the best steak and fries every. It was a very hot day so I even ordered a nice glass of sangria to cool down with.
Okay, so it’s not a farmers market with real farmers, but man, it’s little business’s it does have are really fantastic. I recommend coming down here with a group of friends and just chill out. While I was drinking my sangria, I noticed there were a lot of Greek and Spanish people hanging around, very nice looking, interesting, handsome. I think I’ll stick around, maybe see what the tobacconists has to offer in the way of a nice tobacco a Greek or Spanish man might like to smoke.
