    Check out the Arts and Crafts Market! Vendors are hawking some pretty cool local wares: jewelry, graphic t-shirts, handmade pipes...the list goes on. We swear, there's more than just tourist junk! Read more

    It's been under ongoing construction, but still a great sight to see as it develops. Can't wait until it's completed.

    Great for people watching on a sunny day. Grab lunch to go at one of the nearby eateries and sit on the steps.

    I work in the Financial District and my fave this to do is take my lunch and eat out in the sunshine! This is a nice place to sit back and relax on your lunch break.

    Lots of very pushy homeless people "demanding" you give them a dollar. The place is littered with them, and they do not smell good at all.
