Expert notes
- A must-do activity at the market is trying the famous fried green tomatoes. Other popular food options include breakfast sandwiches, fresh juices, and homemade baked goods. The ideal time to visit the market is early in the morning when the weather is cooler and the crowds are smaller. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing, as the market can get crowded and hot during peak hours. Bring a cooler to keep any perishable items fresh. Talk to the vendors and ask about their products - they're happy to share their knowledge and passion for their craft.
