Isn't it presh? |
One stunning feature of Boston that I've only recently become aware of is SoWa. Picture TONS of crafty vendors in a large square parking lot surrounded on two sides by the best food trucks in New England outside on a beautiful Sunday morning in Boston. It. Is. Incredible.
SoWa Open Market |
SoWa runs May 6th through October 28th on Sundays from about 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The market, which is conveniently located next to the SoWa Farmers' Market and Vintage Market, hosts a wide variety of vendors selling an even wider range of products. Hand-crafted accessories, t-shirts, original art, indie designer clothing, fresh bread, flowers, jewelry, handbags, you name it. You may see something one Sunday, come back the next Sunday, and a whole new batch of vendors may be there. And that's the beauty of it. ALL for reasonable prices, and most often than not, you come face-to-face with the brilliant artist who designed your new favorite t-shirt/necklace/purse/trinket/art piece.
The best part about SoWa isn't even the flea market - it's the food trucks that park alongside the market. It's literally Food Truck Heaven. Every Sunday, about a dozen trucks roll in to sell the best in gourmet mobile food. Some of the more popular trucks that attend are The Cupcakory, Bon Me, Clover, Roxy's Grilled Cheese, Grilled Cheese Nation, as well as many other delicious on-the-go food options. The first time I went to SoWa, I got a Mini Lobster Slider from a seafood truck that I haven't seen since as well as Edamame and homemade Blueberry Soda from Bon Me.
The orange-est truck I've ever seen. |
Dear Mini Lobster Slider, I'll be seeing you again this summer. |
If you live in Boston and haven't been to SoWa yet, CHECK IT OUT. The atmosphere is super relaxed, and I promise you will find something worth taking home with you.
Bostonians, what are your thoughts on SoWa? Still enjoying the popularity of food trucks, or is the fad getting old? Comment away!!
I will never get sick of SoWa. I went to the Vintage market few weeks ago and met a bunch of wonderful vendors! :) http://summerinsea.com/tag/sowa-vintage-market/
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I love going in the winter because it's not crowded but I REALLY can't wait for the summer.
