The only thing I purchased was from the bakery. Over priced but really good! Everything was too expensive and other than the produce and meat it was like a small scale flea market. Mostly worthless junk. It's worth a walk-through to say you did but spend your money elsewhere. more

You could peruse the aisles and stores here for hours if you wanted to (and I wanted to!). We bought some fresh pollock and some smoked salmon (SO GOOD) from the fish place closest to Java Moose and some artichokes from Pete's Frootique (can't get them in Amherst, NS!).

There are lots of fruit and vegetable vendors, butchers and seafood sellers, artisans and gift-stores, etc. It is a fun vibrant place to walk around.

Other stands display t-shirts, sweatshirts, and knick-knacks for the tourists. The aisles are... more

It's just a big mall, with a somewhat pricy market at one end of it, nothing special, really. The food at Asian Palace (the Indian restaurant) wasn't very good - worse than in all other Indian restaurants I've ever been to. There is an internet cafe with especially good rates for students and a good Nygard outlet. Other than that... more
