The day before it opened on July 30, 2015, I joined a media tour of the Boston Public Market. The place is vibrant with color and the air hangs with the smell of fresh produce, flowers, honey, and chocolate. Can this be Boston’s official happy place? (Good-bye, Cheers!) We had the luxury of talking with some of the 38 vendors who practically hum with passion for the vision of the nation’s first indoor, year-round locally sourced market. I hope you enjoy this sneak peak, until you can get there yourself.
