There’s so much diversity in food, there’s such good people watching, and there’s just something for everyone. “Visitors can sample a wide range of cuisines, from regional Thai food, Argentinian alfajores, and Cajun Gumbo to one of just a handful of Ethiopian spots in the state. But Yellow Green Market is not your average food hall. The giant farmers market is home to diverse vendors selling lychees, dragon fruit, and other subtropical specialties that are hard to find anywhere else in the United States. There’s also a wide array of shops offering everything from handmade soap and beauty products to unique plants-We have almost 700 booths right now,” Gustavo Larranaga, manager of Yellow Green Market, said.
