    Great place to visit and check out a thriving street that has been designated as a "Great Street in America" by the American Planning Association. Venue for one of the oldest U.S. farmer's markets.

    Don't leave the Farmer's market without homemade pasta from Cavanna, jelly from Randy and cookies from Fresh Joseph's. The Greek Baker makes some.stellar breads. There is a reason for the bread line.
