West side until i perish

I am a big fan of public markets. Whether they be butchers, bakeries, food stands, farmers' markets, or art fairs, I love the concept of a small group of specialized artisans exhibiting their (sometimes remarkably tasty) wares. I must be white.



As you might hasten to tell me then, West Side Market in Cleveland is a location I should check out! Well thank you for suggesting it, but I've already had the pleasure.



It has some great art deco architecture, and a great open hall. They sell meat there.



Lots and lots of meat!



They also have a balcony, which offers a photo-op almost exactly the same as the one in the wikipedia article I linked to.



Erin got a crepe with bananas and peanut butter. They also have baked goods! Unfortunately some of the bakers are liars.



This guy was nice though. He sold me a scrumptious loaf of sesame semolina bread. I ate the whole thing by the time the trip was over.



This was a hunger-inducing experience. It reminds me of Quincy Market in Boston, except the food is not cooked. I wish we had a place like this near our home, so we could actually make use of all the great un-prepared stock on sale. As it is though, we had a great time, and I got some great pictures.

Tomorrow: Bowling!
