frischmarkt

germany is amazing.

der frishmarkt, also der wochenendemarkt on the wochenende, is wonderful. first, it's a pretty nice size and 3 times a week, which means one could, in theory, have fresh things every day.

early mornings on tuesday and thursday mean few people and lots of fresh produce. there are 10-20 stands around in the market place with all kinds of different things. on saturdays there are a LOT of people here. i feels a little like a carnival. there aren't a lot of street food items, but there is usually one guy selling bratwürste and brötchen. of course, you can always duck into the nearest bakery.

the plaza gets cleared out around 2 pm to let the cafés put out their tables and chairs. there isn't much that does on here when there isn't a market, but i think on holidays there may be more special events.
