The last two times I’ve been to the market I’ve regretted spending my time fighting through literal throngs of people. The best eats there have such long lines that it’s just not worth the time. If you must, walk just outside and check out the crowds and the atmosphere. Just across the street, if the lines aren’t too bad, Beecher’s mac n cheese or a grilled cheese sammy is good eating, but just not worth waiting even an hour for.
If you choose to go, there are now many more local artisans in the “new” section. We also did stop by the pink door after we had a wine tasting at the excellent tasting room just across the alley from the famous unmarked pink door.
