The Boston Public Market
100 Hanover Street at Haymarket Station
Wednesday – Sunday, 8:00am – 8:00pm

Ever since the Boston Public Market opened this summer it seems that it has been doing a brisk business.  Open Wednesday through Sunday, The Boston Public Market claims to be the only permanent, year-round, self-sustaining market to feature only fresh, locally sourced food in the U.S.

Should you have any out of town guests or friends you know who take an interest in such things I’d highly recommend adding this to your list of suggested places to visit.  Additionally, if you happen to have a foodie on your holiday shopping list and you are struggling to find a gift for them or looking for a last minute gift or item to bring with you over the holidays, check out the market. The full list of Boston Public Market vendors is always available, here.

I love to bring guests by this vendor for the shock value

This however is much more my preference

If you like this sort of thing, I’d suggest you like their Facebook page and check out their Instagram account for some great photos.

Last week The Boston Globe wrote (once again) about a huge mixed use project in Government Center that would add to Boston’s skyline and significantly change the make up of the Government Center / West End neighborhoods.  The project proposed  by HYM Investment Group (shown above) would replace the existing Government Center parking garage (shown below) with two towers; a 45-story apartment tower and a 43-story office tower. The two towers are part of a larger, 2.4-million-square-foot development that was first proposed back in 2011 but is finally expected to start next year.

According to The Globe, the new apartment tower will feature a mix of studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom units and will offer a lineup of amenities including a swimming pool, sun deck, yoga studio and gym on the 9th floor, while the 31st floor “will offer leisure spaces for residents with a multi-purpose room, library, and roof deck.”  According to the BRA website, the project will include 800+ residential units, a 196-room hotel, 82,500 square feet of retail space, while preserving the nearly 1,200 parking spaces from the garage.
