Fresh figs

[allieinbklyn]

Hi there,

Looking for fresh figs--have I missed them or am I too early? Has anyone seen them around the city?

Thanks!

I saw several varieties at Eli's on Third Avenue yesterday.

Fairway had them as of Thursday. They looked good.

I actually got them from Fresh Direct. I like to eat them for breakfast wrapped in proscuitto!

Don't know where you can find them, but when you do, check out this post for some great ideas on what to do with them.

$2.99 a box at Chelsea Market. Green or black. I boought a box today. I have also seen them at the street stands in Manhattan this week.

Might be a little far, but 3 Guys in Brooklyn had some terrific figs for sale today.

I think you might be on the later side. A month ago they were all over the place. Fairway, Citarella, Chelsea Market.

Chelsea Market had pint containers for pretty cheap (don't remember how much) last week.

I'm craving them too (figs marinated in EVOO & balsamic vinegar, arugula, shaved Parm. Reg. - yum!). You might be too early. Haven't looked for them at the markets. None at Union Square Greenmarket today. Peaches are here.

Allie, they're here in Philadelphia. I just got some at Trader Joe's.
