Eat Food, Mostly Plants

If you need to inject a bit of green into your diet (what did Michael Pollan write recently in The New York Times  magazine? "Eat food...mostly plants"), a lunch-time errand-run to this most visible (and most forgotten) year-round farmers' market might make a pleasant way to spend your lunch hour, if you're lucky enough to work downtown. Wade through the crowds for the most tempting spring produce, from asparagus to artichokes, and a full contingent of fresh herbs, from oregano to Thai basil. Visit the Pike Place Market, soon to turn 100, Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m., Sundays 10 a.m.-5 p.m., located at Pike and First Avenue, along Pike Place.
