This walk-friendly bazaar encompasses an entire city block and hosts over 100 artisan grocers, restaurants, specialty food and gift merchants—many of which are family-owned and operated. Visitors can enjoy an exotic meal, grab a delicious snack or find a fun keepsake all within steps of each other. Parents can even pick up their groceries here to take home.

As times change, it provides reassuring testament to the old saying: “the more things change, the more they stay the same.”
