I truly enjoy spending Saturdays at Eastern Market. Now I admit I don't get early in the morning, I'll usually arrive around 2 when I think the most people are hanging around. I like crowds.
I'll buy some spices, fruits and vegetables, breads and table flowers. I have the regulars vendors that I patronize, I have gotten to know them and they will usually do a deal with me.
I then will buy something to eat at one of the restaurants and before I know it I've spent roughly two hours hanging in the market.
Now, I am getting my nerve up, because I want to try the karoke, it looks like a lot of fun
I'll let you know, maybe you can come and cheer me on.

I interviewed the executive director of Eastern Market for my documentary, The Great Detroit, he is seen a short version of the actual film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSCmzNOIFlg

Question: Do you know of another city that has as nice of a market as Detroit does?
