Greenmarkets, starting with local one at Kips Bay Plaza

Our local Sunday Greenmarket is still operating ( as shown in this video) after some contretemps that followed ambitious expansion plans that got nixed at the last minute..

We have discussed Greenmarkets in Manhattan before, but I am looking for an update on what is happening now...

Yelp has a list with links to reviews of Greenmarkets in Manhattan...

This really has to be updated by it seems to me we have reached a kind of stasis with the Greenmarket business right now, and people are adjusting to the changes in their neighborhoods as they happened ( for instance, last year the Union Square Greenmarket was reorganized... ) 

And as I said there have been ups and downs with the Kips Bay (listed here as Murray Hill) market that you have to look for in community papers to find out about... 

I would just refer you to the website of Grow NYC to find a list of why the local markets are important
