Markets in Washington Heights and the Staten Island Ferry Terminal

Today my group went to go to Washington Heights for our Neighborhood project. This project is where we get to know a part of the city and do a grant proposal on that specific area. When we were walking through our neighborhood we noticed that there were many markets on the streets and also in store markets. The market prices were actually very cheap with deals like 5 for 1 on bananas. There was a market on every corner so they must need to have cheap prices to compete with all the markets around.

When we came back to the ferry from our neighborhood and went up the escalators we noticed that there was a market right at the ferry! This was the first time I have seen something like this in a public transportation waiting area. Seems like they were selling more of the fall and Halloween goods. As Halloween is this weekend. the had a range from pumpkins to apple cider to just apples and many more items. They also had deals of three pound bags for three dollars each or two bags for five dollars. These deals attract many people in the city because this is there only source of a market around the area of the ferry and they can get fresh fruit as the go home either way. I found this market to be placed in a very interesting and intriguing spot.
