Date of Visit: August 23, 2020

Easton is home to the oldest continuous open-air market in the country, the Easton Farmers’ Market.

The Easton Public Market, its year-round, indoor extension, may not have the same history, but it is worth a visit all the same.

Opened in 2016, Easton Public Market is located in the 300 block of Northampton Street, less than a block away from the city’s Centre Square and its most famous attraction, the Crayola Experience.

The market boasts more than a dozen vendors all with unique offerings so as to avoid direct competition.

There is no shortage of places to eat inside the Market.

Full of Crepe specializes in sweet and savory French crepes. Scratch – a collaboration between a local brewery and a local farm – serves pizza and craft brews. You’ll also find barbecue, an oyster bar and a ramen shop.

And Taylor Taco Shop where guests can build their own tacos, burritos and bowls.

A couple pork carnitas tacos, a side of chips and salsa, and a glass of Jarritos makes for a very satisfying meal.
