"As the centerpiece of the revitalized River Market District since 1857, this market is open daily and features more than 160 stalls selling produce, meat, crafts, plants, and global specialties from Middle Eastern, Brazilian, and Vietnamese vendors. You can munch kettle corn or doughnuts, stock up on bulk spices and imported ingredients, join outdoor yoga and cooking demos, and even visit the Arabia Steamboat Museum nearby, which displays cargo including the world’s oldest pickles. Favorites to try here include a Middle Eastern hummus and falafel sandwich from Habashi House and cinnamon rolls from Bloom Baking Co." - Veronica Stoddart
