As a kid I came to the "markets" with my dad for him to get wholesale prices on plants and gardening supplies, and for me to eat a pickle fresh out of a barrel. Jim R is right, now the Brooklyn Terminal Market is a shadow of its former self. I still find that it's a good source for reasonably-priced garden stuff, at A. Visconti and Brooklyn Plantology by Lapide. Nowadays they're just like retail stores with shopping carts and all. Parking inside the market can be hard to find on busy days. The map of tenants on the market's website is helpful.
