Queue Cue the instagram mob scene. Thanks NPR/WHYY.* (Edit: I'm aware of the difference, but phone commenting brain isn't always in proofread mode. However, the other comment is also correct that both could work depending on the situation.)

With rising costs, the vendors may appreciate this. Regular patrons on the other hand likely will not.

Yeah, I agree, but even the vendors may not appreciate it beyond a certain threshold. Who knows, maybe it’ll find a good equilibrium. One can hope.

Last time I went I was pushed outta the way by this huge tour group, filled with white people that looked lost. I didn’t even know there were official tours for the market.

it really was great going there before all the articles, always a small crowd, plenty of space/seats, etc - like a small farmers market. Went again somewhat recently and couldnt even get in the parking lot.

BSL and the number 4 bus take you right there as an alternative.

If only someone told the city, maybe they could make crossing Broad from the station less of a pain in the ass.

For sure, it’s ironic that it’s a super transitable area besides all of the parking lots and highways to cross.

And FDR being one giant parking lot on the weekends with cars parked everywhere and bumper to bumper traffic. Ahh just what everyone wants when they go to the park.

Yup it sucks, cars should be forced to park around the stadiums and be banned inside the actual park, outside of accommodating the handicapped and deliveries.

Such an easy fix. The park is surrounded by parking lots for days.
