Findlay Market is one of my favorite places to spend a sunny afternoon in Cincinnati. It's just a short drive from our house, and a great place for wonderful fresh foods.One recent Sunday afternoon, Howard and i were enjoying lunch at an outdoor picnic table when up came none other than ole' Sawyer. Turns out Craig, Carol and crew had the same idea, and were enjoying a beautiful day at Findlay too!
According to the website, "Findlay Market is Ohio's oldest continuously operated public market
and one of Cincinnati's most cherished institutions. The Market is located just blocks from downtown in Over-the-Rhine, a dense historic neighborhood rich in 19th century architecture. The Market is home year-around to about two dozen indoor merchants selling meat, fish, poultry, produce, flowers, cheese, deli, and ethnic foods. On Saturdays and Sundays from April to November the Market also hosts a thriving farmers market, dozens of outdoor vendors, numerous street performers, and lots of special events.
Findlay Market is a gathering place for people from all over the city. It routinely attracts perhaps the most socially, economically, racially, and ethnically diverse crowds found anywhere in Cincinnati. They come for the sights and sounds and smells of an old-fashioned public market, for the great variety of fabulous fresh foods, for bargains, for people watching, and for a quintessentially urban shopping experience."
