History Comes Alive: October 27 at New Amsterdam Market

[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_original","fid":"186","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"205","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"159"}}]]The South Street Seaport is more than a historical market and seaport site; it has been used for several years now by the New Amsterdam Market, and later this month its role as a seaport will be re-activated--and the public is invited. On October 27, a sail-barge carrying agricultural goods from the Lower Hudson Valley and Vermont will dock at the New Amsterdam Market and the goods will be for sale. The barge is traveling by wind power! On the same day, NAM is hosting a gathering of fisheries, including a visit from journalist Paul Greenberg, author of Four Fish and the Coming Catch.

See you there on Sunday, Oct. 27!
