Lambert’s Marketplace

What a happy little pop-​up farm stand this has turned out to be!
It seemed to arrive overnight under a tented canopy in front of what formerly was Kingfish Hall; the restaurant owned by Todd English that has since closed up shop.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a fan of any of Mr. English’s many Boston-​based endeavors so closing that restaurant means one less over-​priced shrine dedicated to his own sense of culinary grandiosity and room made for what I hope will one day be a good replacement restaurant.
The windows of the restaurant have been papered over and shuttered for some time now and I’m guessing this might be due to the high commercial rents in tourist-​filled Faneuil Hall scaring away restauranteurs who might not have as deep pockets as the former tenant. But for now: Enter Lambert’s and its array of fruits and flowers!
So while I know Lambert’s, which is merely parked outside of the restaurant façade, won’t last here forever, I am so happy to have this option right now. I am living in the moment.
Faneuil Hall is rife with all kinds of not-​so-​good-​for-​you snack options but suddenly it has become easy to pick up some fresh fruit to quell a rumbling tummy to nosh on the way home or for breakfast in the morning.
On a couple of occasions I’ve purchased some floweres here. Always nice to have even a little posy to brighten the day.
The stand is open early in the morning and well into the evening.
It was a great idea to utilize the space outside the former restaurant for this purpose. I hope it gets to stay in Faneuil somewhere or another for a long time.
