SoWa Open Market

At the end of Thayer Street: 455 Harrison Avenue

This baby started the trend. A sunny Sunday morning in June, a sea of white tents … and lots and lots of kids just out of art school flapping their wings, offering you everything from found-glass anklets to toaster sculpture to pastel knit caps made of cotton and silk for your first-born. Next to moms-and-pops who’ve survived the aftermath of the 70’s unphased and are still carving their salad bowls from swamp cedar. Seconded by the cleverest fridge magnets, yes hand-made, you ever did see including some that hide in the freezer when mom and dad come to visit. If you come out of here without something to slide across the table on your second date, to give to your favorite thinking man’s groom, or to get you out of your latest tight … then you should give up and start parsing a West Elm catalog.
