Dubbed the ‘Old Market,’ this is actually part of a highly successful urban-renewal effort. An old port building was transformed into an attractive food market where you can order anything from grilled comfort food to complete entrees, served at indoor booths or at tables overlooking a tidy riverfront plaza. Especially popular in the evenings, when there's live music.
