Greenmarkets in neighborhoods all over town are shifting to a new and cooler season as New York City moves into autumn. At the crack of dawn, when vendors set up their stalls and unpack their goods, the cold is becoming tangible. Shorts and T-shirts make way for long trousers and jackets. Fresh corn, tomatoes and peaches are being replaced with fennel, leeks and apples. It’s a farewell to the lull of summer days and a welcome back to many of the regular customers who were away for all or part of the summer.
