Coming from Cleveland, I am very familiar with the West Side Market, and since coming to campus, I have heard a lot of people talk about the North Market. I presumed that maybe it would be like the West Side Market but I really had no idea what to expect of it. So my friends and I took a COTA bus to the North Market on a Saturday morning to see what it was all about. At first sight, I was very impressed with the classiness of the place. It was very nicely organized and all of the little shops, booths, and stores looked great. I was overwhelmed by the amount of options they had for food and I just wanted to try everything. I finally decided on getting a pretzel from Brezel which was the best soft pretzel I have ever had. I also tried out a beef brisket sandwich from Holy Smoke BBQ and ended with a macaroon from Pistacia Vera. Everything I ate was delicious and I cannot wait to go back to try other things out, but as a Clevelander, I think I am still a little biased towards the West Side Market.
