After walking around the Long Wharf, we stopped in at the Boston Public Market. The Boston Public…read moreMarket is an indoor marketplace that sells products from New England vendors such as crafts, housewares, and food and drink. The Boston Public Market wasn't crowded and chaotic, so it was a nice place to relax, as well as use the bathroom. They also had seating for people just to hang out. We stopped at Red Apple Farm and purchased flights of cider for $10 (the samples we had were were black cherry, cranberry, and blueberry), and then I bought nearly $50 worth of nuts at Q's Nuts.

The area has cobblestone in some areas. The parking is a little hard around this area. Finding parking and driving. The parking garages around here some don't like larger cars or trucks. I recommend parking a few blocks away and walking. The market was nice. It had live performers the day I came outside doing their thing. It has a huge area that sells food. It was dream. It was hard to choose which vendors to hit first. The seafood looked so good. So many places to choose for a lobster roll. The workers were friendly. The service was good. I liked my time here.

It's a beautifully designed bronze sculpture created by Stefanie Rocknak in 2014. It is located at the Edgar Allan Poe Square. As he was originally from Boston, it seems a fitting tribute to his memory.

It was a true gastronomic experience--everything was of the highest quality and expertly prepared. What impressed me most was that there were only two people in the kitchen.
