For the past 35 years, the Union Square Greenmarket has been pumpin? out the vegetable hits?from summer squashes to heirloom tomatoes to cheeses created on small farmsteads upstate to pastries cooked according to the most arcane of ancient techniques. With as many as 50 or more farms selling things every Saturday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, even in the darkest winter, this institution has already sustained generations of downtown Manhattanites and formed the template for every market in the city that followed it.
