If you’re ever at a loss for things to do on a Sunday afternoon in Boston, you should make your way to the SoWa market. In the heart of SoWa, the cultural district in Boston, food trucks and vendors of all trades gather together on each Sunday 10am to 4pm, from the beginning of May to the end of October. At this diverse market this is incredible variety, gourmet baked goods to dog treats, and intricate necklaces to plants and bean bag chairs. Don’t go to SoWa with a full stomach because the sweet smells drifting off the fresh cookies and brownies, and the sight of juicy plump blueberries are tempting to the taste buds. On my first trip to the SoWa market I was drawn to the unusually flavored foods. Such as almonds flavored as: chocolate coconut, chocolate raspberry, and coquito. I also was drawn towards the exotically flavored popcorn. I have quite a sweet tooth, I chose berries and cream sugary glazed popcorn while my friends chose the salt and vinegar flavor. When venturing through the maze of tents there were some that drew me in. I decided to photograph the owners of these stands, talk to them a bit, and get their business cards. The photos displayed were some of my favorites from the other day.
