text: Okay before I wrote my review did a quick look at other Yelp posts I have noted quite a few people love it and if you see my rating you know i am in the Woohoo category on this one Seems much of the lack of love comes from a perspective on price and if price is a primary criteria for the evaluation Phoenix Public Market probably will not feel the love tonight yes just like the song However let me as a humble fellow Yelper argue for the joy and wonder that isPhoenix Public MarketnnRun well and lots to offernnI just went here on Wednesday night when I visited the evening farmers market for the first time Just look at how many things are available and local in one location You have a deli with healthy soup sandwich and premade items to go I got me some roasted carrots to take home and they are quite good along with a decent selection of local items and yes you pay a bit more butyou are also supporting local food producers There was also a small wine section and a selection of local Arizona wines free tastings I guess as well on Wednesday night You go through another door and you have a coffee bar and you can get to all of this from the Van Buren or Roosevelt light rail stop I realize not everyone can ride the rail easily but I think being along the rail line is a huge plusnnNot just providing a service but an experiencennLook when you go to a place like this half the fun is feeling a part of a larger community and trying new things and it helps anchor the farmers market where on a Wednesday evening there are not only local farmers but often music and a nice variety of local food trucksit is funnnSo once again it depends on your criteria for evaluation but I will argue that the Phoenix Public Market offers something unique you will not find anyplace else in Phoenix As for those who might argue anyone who loves it has never been outside of PhoenixI have been outside of Phoenix a lot and i still think it is a pretty cool place to visit
