Carlo Petrini, founder of the International Slow Food Movement, visited Union Square yesterday to talk to Greenmarket delegates headed to Italy for Terra Madre next week.

The Union Square Greenmarket had a different kind of green visitor on Tuesday: Sesame Street’s Rosita la Monstrua de las Cuevas, the first bilingual muppet, dropped by the Norwich Meadows stand to teach kids about healthy eating.
