Lancaster Central Market - Part 1

in photography •  7 years ago  (edited)

This past Friday my wife and I braved the frigid Northeast US weather, drove to Lancaster Pennsylvania, and stopped at the historic Lancaster Central Market.

It's a really nice place to get out of the cold and take in the sights, sounds, and smells of this wonderful market. The main focus is on farm-fresh meat, dairy, and produce but there are plenty of other items for sale including hand-made Amish crafts, fresh flowers, coffee, tea, and too many sweets to keep track of.

I had an apple fritter that was a perfect and sweet pairing with a mean cup of coffee!


Here's an excerpt from the Lancaster Central Market's website:

I could go for an apple fritter and a pretzel right now. That ad says they sell scrapple! My husband loves the stuff but I know what it's made of so I stay away! I thought scrapple was a southern thing. Interesting to see it in Pennsylvania.

This is wonderful photography
happy new year @cognoscere

I have never been to the US and didn't realize there are such places as the Lancaster market. A place like this you would never see in the movies and I wonder why, because of it kooks a perfect location for a market scene!
It sould be on my places to visit list, whene I go to the US.
Do you have more hiden great places like this to recimand me?

Minutes turn into hours but you conversations never end. Here's to another 365 days on non-stop chatter! Wish you a very happy new year, my friend and wonderful photography

So beautiful clicks amazing this looks :) Happy New Year

Market appears to be a whole lot of fun, with even more good food to add to it (especially the fritters). Looks very similar to Pike Place Market in Seattle.
And looks to be a great people-watching place as well. The older woman in the bonnet looks like she has seen a good many things of life pass by under the bridge. Amazing.

Loved the roses and very beautiful pics :)

The flowers were the most attractive ones :)
Nice of you to share it !

you have clicked some really special shots :) Happy New Year

Indah senang lihat

I bet that coffee really helped with the chill. Great photos . I wouldn't mind visiting there sometime. Maybe when it is less cold . 😉

Reminds me of Pike Place Market, where I grew up, in Seattle! Thanks for sharing, I almost moved to PA last year...
Altoona, though! LOL...
I hope those farmers are avoiding Round-Up!!

I've forgotten how much I love markets. I haven't been to one in ages. Inspired, officially! The last market I went to was in Granville - huge place.

This one looks amazing. I'll bet it was cold in there.
