Boston Community Marketplace
To buy the ingredients for traditional ethnic cooking, it's not practical to travel to public markets around the world. It's possible, but not always convenient, to visit one of the neighborhood ethnic grocery stores in the Boston area. (Click on the pots on the map to see some examples.) But once the Boston Community Marketplace opens on the ground floor of the Boston Museum, shoppers will be able to choose from a wide range of traditional food vendors in a central Boston location, easily accessible by MBTA. On their traditional market days of Friday and Saturday, Haymarket pushcart vendors will fill the Marketplace with their affordable produce, fish, and other types of food. On other days of the week, vendors from Boston's diverse ethnic communities will sell grocery staples and other packaged foods, fresh foods, and traditional ready-to-eat items. The Marketplace won't compete with the Haymarket pushcart vendors or with nearby ethnic groceries (whether in the North End, Chinatown, or on the opposite side of Blackstone Street), but will instead offer food not now available in downtown Boston. The range of vendors represented in the Marketplace will include long-established immigrants (e.g., Irish, Portuguese, Armenian, or Jewish) as well as more recent arrivals (e.g., Brazilian, Indian, or Cambodian). The market stalls will be operated by these community members. Customers of the Marketplace will include Haymarket pushcart shoppers (many of whom are part of immigrant communities themselves), ethnic group members from throughout the metropolitan area who don't have a market in their neighborhood, downtown workers, tourists, and Museum visitors.
El Mexicano Bakery in the Midtown Global Market, Minneapolis The fine print: The appearance on this page of a link to a store does not imply that the store endorses the Boston Museum, or that the Boston Museum has offered the store a place in the Boston Community Marketplace. The links are provided to give an idea of the types of merchants we plan to include in the Marketplace.
