TRANSACTIONS NEWSLETTER ONLINESeptember 2003Visiting the Ferry Building
Located at the foot of Market Street, the San Francisco Ferry Building has been transformed from a classic transportation center to an urban bazaar that showcases local farmers and brings “the bounty of the Bay Area together under one roof,” according to the complex’s promotional material. The 10-year-old Ferry Plaza Farmers Market has moved back to the arcades directly in front of the Ferry Building and the sidewalk along the Embarcadero, spilling onto the side and rear plaza during the popular Saturday markets. Featuring organically grown produce, cheeses, jams, pastries, condiments and flowers, the farmers market now operates four days a week, with a special garden market for plant enthusiasts on Sundays. The indoor Ferry Building Marketplace occupying the main corridor is the new permanent home to specialty food purveyors — the ever-growing list reads like a who’s who of the Bay Area’s top food enterprises. The ground floor also will accommodate several eateries. — Deanna Yick Ferry Plaza Farmers Market Ferry Building Marketplace
