Started by Sonya Lunansky in the early 1930s, Augusta Fruit Market is the kind of shop the market has come to be defined by. Originally opened as a few boxes of fruit sold curb-side, Augusta Fruit Market eventually found a full-time home at 65 Nassau St. Sonya lived in the market for her whole life and was an active, vibrant member of the community. Sonya’s Park, a block north, was named in her honour.
