Starting at 7 am head over to Ghost Alley Espresso just below Rachel the Piggy Bank in Lower Post Alley. The spot is the meeting point for the Market Ghost Tours and was named out of respect to the purported hauntings in the area.

Find your favorite street art on the Free Wall where artists such as Narboo often post thoughtful and humous comics. You can even find stickers of his work at Robot vs. Sloth on First Avenue and Pine Street.

With over 40 restaurants and eateries in the market, you won’t struggle to find a place to park your booty for lunch. You will struggle with picking one, however. We recommend stopping by a few little stands such as Pike’s Pit BBQ, Pasta Casalinga, Le Panier, Pike Place Chowder, Jack’s Fish, and Piroshky Piroshky.

Take a photo in a real film photo booth

While you’re in the Market’s lower levels, make sure you stop by Orange Dracula and take a photo in their real film photo booth. Fun fact — This famous photo booth was once featured on an episode of The Bachelor.
