Greenmarket's expansion efforts: NY Times Dining in 60 seconds

New York's famous Greenmarket farmer's market has expanded, with 10 new locations all under its name throughout the city. The new locations have dieticians and nutritionists and, unlike the main location which is about the food, these are about health, promoting fresh produce as a way to lose weight, not extolling the virtues of all high-quality products (including things like artisan meats and cheeses) than are at the main market. The farmers do not love the new format as Greenmarket shifts them to new locations, some of which have no customers, and many wonder if Greenmarket, like any other business, is expanding too quickly. If you want to know where to find the new markets, check out the interactive map.
