Sightseeing

Beautiful market. Especially vibrant in the summertime on Saturdays and Sundays. You can get most food grocery needs here through either the farmers, green grocers, and the Italian, African, Asian, or Middle Eastern markets. Plus, there are great restaurants and cafes scattered throughout. Skip the BBQ.
