Hidden behind an incredibly inconspicuous storefront is Stiles Farmers Market, a veritable paradise of cheap fresh produce. Teetering pyramids of fruit and vegetables are framed by the ramshackle blue walls and the yellow roof. While music blares from small speakers and shoppers squeeze past each other in the narrow aisles, everyone seems content to be grocery shopping here. During the summer, I eagerly picked up large bags of fresh strawberries, plums, grapes and cherries for the Manhattan Sideways team to munch on while continuing our walk – all for less than $12.
