Yesterday we spent the day trolling around SoWa Market in the South End neighborhood of Boston. This is such a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon with the family. Not only do they have great local crafts for sale, there are food trucks galore lining the perimeter of the place ( http://www.sowaopenmarket.com/food-truck-info). Too bad we didn't know that before took the kids to a phat sit down brunch at Gaslight (http://www.gaslight560.com/)! You can get everything from a grilled cheese sandwich from the Roxy truck to a falafel at Clover to an old-fashioned twist from Mr. Frostie. And at the end of the line, a great pair of shoes from box truck selling all sorts of accessories...
www.sowaopenmarket.comMy favorite thing about the place is the SoWa Vintage Market just steps up into the neighboring building from the outdoor space at 430 Harrison Street. It's such a throwback into my childhood; Star Trek metal lunch boxes, fun 50s shoes, painted furniture, and today, my greatest find, 4 Kartell Louis Ghost chairs for $1000 (normally $410 for one)! The space is made up of lots of little vendors, some regulars and some making guest appearances on random weekends. The woman with the Ghost chairs was a familiar face from the Boston Design Center - a former Baker employee named Jennifer Allen. She has put together a great collection of vintage finds, fun vases and cool accessories and calls it Market (www.mrkthome.com). I'll be checking in weekly to see what she has to offer...
