Hudson Farmers Market, at 3437 Kennedy Boulevard in Jersey City Heights, is one of my favorite places. I would go there every day if I could. It's so full of good things that I love to walk around and smell and see the beautiful plants and flowers and be surrounded by all the healthy and delicious produce and specialty products found there. The owner, Louie, is a true gem, someone who works long hours to provide the best quality and prices of delicious fruits and vegetables I've seen anywhere. The variety is astounding, and for someone like me who loves to cook and eat wonderful things, it feels like I've walked into a food lover's heaven. Where else can you find heirloom tomatoes, perfectly ripe and so heavy with juice and sweetness that you could eat them the moment you bring them home, for the regular price of $1.49 a pound? These are the same tomatoes that at any other market would start at $4.99 and go up from there, and if you happen to catch them on an extra special, you'll bring home a quarter bushel basket for $1.99. Every day prices for local and exotic produce are always able to fill any kitchen with good wholesome and delicious food, and with special bags for .99 cents and those $1.99 baskets, there will always be food enough of every variety to keep you healthy and happy. In growing season you'll find local New Jersey produce of the sweetest and tenderest varieties. I had some kale tonight that knocked every other kale I've ever had completely out of the ball park. Louie's not playing around when it comes to the produce business, and if you love plants and flowers, you'll love the garden center and all it has to offer. They're open seven days, so stop by often. It will make your day brighter and fill you with all good things.

Thrift Shopping In Union City - An Easy Stroll Away
After your delicious snack or meal with the wonderful provisions of Hudson Farmers Market, head on over to the other side of Kennedy Boulevard, just over the border into Union City. There's a thrift store there just north of 8th Street that has its own abundance of good things, and you'll need all the energy that comes from good healthy food to help you bring home all of the wonderful treasures you'll find there. A while back I bought a bag of I don't even know how many white feather boas for $5, and I've found lovely glassware, specialty items for the shower and bath, and two beautiful lamps that have turned my evening reading corner into a haven of beauty. The owner, Marco Basualdo, is always finding new things, and he keeps his prices user friendly in a way that truly blesses the neighborhood. Joanne Nieves is a sweet and lovely presence at the cash register, and if you stop by when the talented photographer Marlon Morales is there, ask if he'll show you his latest works of art. You'll be glad you stopped by Quality Thrift Shop, so stop by often.
