The shopping is great at the Farmers' Market in Highland Park.  There are fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers, lots of treats such as flavored nuts and "gourmet tamales", and live festive music.  You can do your shopping there, support the community, chat with your neighbors and have fun all at the same time!  The market takes place Tuesdays 3-8pm at the corner of Avenue 57 and Marmion Way.
