Getting up in a not so familiar location often makes for interesting times. However getting up in a hotel room where the lighting is dim (at best) and almost impossible to put on make-up makes one definitely cranky. While the Hotel Griffin is all about eco-friendly and being green, it’s also about not making one “look green” when they put on makeup.

So instead of getting the knickers in a twist, we head out to the virtually across the street Ferry Building for the Farmer’s Market— which at 9 AM is already packed with people and is fun fun FUN!! This market is only done on Tuesday and Saturdays for restaurants and foodies to pick up fresh and organic provisions as well as stop and get a bite to eat at the really incredible variety of restaurants and take-out places within the Ferry Building.

Inside the building is also hot as their are food and coffee stalls and places with real storefronts.
Here’s a sampling of the stuff we saw! We did do a chunk of shopping— mostly tasting and smelling unique fragrances, berries, syrups and chutneys. What was really cool was the 6 pack of flavored olive oils. I could not pass that up.
Sciabica’s Gift Pack of 6 flavored oils.. YUM!!
Mushrooms. Wish I could have bought these— but they weren’t going to last in the heat of that weekend.
Shitakis looked awesome too.
How about this one? Do you know what this is?
