FORAGERS FOOD MARKET IN DUMBO

FORAGERS MARKET - DUMBO, BROOKLYNIf you haven't heard of DUMBO by now - here is a formal introduction.   D-own U-nder M-anhattan B-ridge O-verpass -has been a magnet for artists and loft seekers for several years now.   With the best view of Manhattan, DUMBO looks like a movie set of a perfect NYC neighborhood.   If you're thinking of finding more space outside Manhattan  at a bargain rate - don't get excited.  That horse left the barn a long time ago.    Think BIG ticket apartments and all the trimmings that go with it.   Starbuck's - check.   Baby stores - check.   Dog sitting place - check.   Nannys walking babies around while mom gets a spa treatment in mid town - check,check,check.

While you might be rolling your eyes at this point, there are still a few bright spots that make this hood special.

FORAGERS MARKET is one of them.   Founded by 4 entrepreneurial artists, this food market is unlike any you find in Brooklyn to say the least.   The philosophy is to provide high quality food sourced by sustainable means and those that are produced locally and in season.   It is green meets your greens as you shop for brands you might not find in your local supermarket.    The prices are not cheap, but the quality and freshness will put a smile on your face.

My favorite feature is the salad bar.   Foragers has the freshest vegetables and tastiest salad dishes I've ever found under a glass shield.  The sandwiches and prepared dishes are great too.   They even have a fully stocked sushi section made on the premises by a dedicated sushi chef. 

The market is the perfect place to grab a snack or a full lunch and sit at a counter and people watch.   Make the trip to Dumbo to hit the galleries, Jacques Torres chocolate and just explore.  There is also a killer Bagel place right across the street!

Best part - for any borough-phobes (you know who you are!) - so easy.. you just take the F train and DUMBO is the FIRST stop outside Manhattan.  

Foragers also has a catering department for your next event! 

FORAGERS MARKET is Located at 56 Adams Street DUMBO , Brooklyn 718-801-8400
