Neighborhoods
The famous market - so many great spots here but my personal favorites are: De Laurenti Italian grocery (cheese, charcuterie, fresh pastas), Ellenos Greek yoghurt, Pure Fish Market (get their smoked salmon), Le Panier (the best French bakery in town), and of course, whatever seasonal fresh flowers are on display.
Parking is difficult so either Uber or park at the Downtown Target nearby 2 hours free parking with $20 spent at Target (buy some groceries).
