This past weekend I spent a morning meandering around the stalls of the South End Open Market with a dear friend. It’s one of the best ways to spend a lazy Sunday morning in Boston. Start the day by indulging in a delicious brunch at any one of the number of tasty restaurants in the area. We chose the sunny curb-side patio at Stella. I suggest the eggs benedict with prosciutto cotto and spicy hollandaise, though I hear the frittata with herbed ricotta is a great choice as well. Hungry yet?
Next stop, the market. It’s a great place to walk off breakfast. Browse through the vendor tents and meet some great local artisans. SOWA brings in new artists every week, so there is always something new to see. It’s a great place to find presents for others or even a little something for yourself!
The brick warehouse along the right side of the tents houses the vintage market. There are plenty of good finds to be had here. Peruse everything from antique keys to vintage clothing. There are always unique vases and containers to be had if you are looking to create a vintage feel for your wedding, next dinner party, or your own personal collection. I picked up two of these cute and cheery ceramic pitchers for just a few dollars each.
All that walking work up an appetite again? Not to fear, SOWA is now featuring a rotating line-up of food trucks. There is also a farmers market in the adjoining lot if you’d rather a piece of fruit or other local produce on your way out the gates.
Admission and parking is free so there’s no reason not to go and explore!
