October Feast - PS 183 Flea & Farmer's Market




The PS 183 (Manhattan) Flea & Farmer's Market is held every Saturday, year-round. The manager of the market pays the school's PTA for the use of the space and the PTA uses the money to fund the school library, after-school program, arts programs, teaching assistants etc. Several NYC public schools have adopted this model for raising extra money. PS 183 is located at 66th Street between First and York Avenues. Enter the market on the 67th Street side of the building.

Saturday Morning Errands









1) Get cash from ATM (Farmer's market vendors do not accept credit cards!) The daffodils are in a raised brick planter right outside the bank.
2) Walk east on 68th Street.
3) Cut through Saint Catherine's playground.
4) Admire new art work.
5) Buy fruits and vegetables at PS 183 Flea & Farmer Market. (The operators of this market pay an annual fee to the school to use the school gym, cafeteria and playground on Saturdays. The extra funds enable the school to provide things for the students that the DOE can not provide.)
6) Return a book to the library.
7) Enter my building through the back (garden) entrance.
8) Brew a fresh pot of coffee and taste the strawberries that were just purchased. NO PICTURE!
