A market like no other?

Fairway Market, Broadway, New York City, originally uploaded by Gordon Gerard McLean.

New York City’s Fairway is truly, as their slogan states, "a market like no other". With its slightly chaotic layout and its sometimes spilling over produce, it never fails to remind me of supermarkets in Ireland when I was a child. That said Fairway is a gourmand’s heaven – great cheese, coffee, olives, fish, meat and vegetables. And if nothing else, their shelves are a fascinating exhibition in the artwork of packaged goods.
