2nd Street Market Tours

This nifty metropark in downtown Dayton is a combination of farmer's market and local craft sale with food stands. It's only open Thursday - Saturday. Great place to pick up some local produce or dairy or honey, get some lunch while enjoying live music, and find a couple nifty local knick-knacks. It is inside the building (some stalls sprawl into the parking lot when the weather is nice) so rain or shine doesn't matter, and no pups.

The 2nd Street Market operates in an historic block-long former 1911 Baltimore and Ohio railroad building. It was saved from demolition and renovated in 2001 in partnership with PNC bank and is operated, oddly enough, by the Five Rivers Metro Parks. The market houses numerous vendors of various crafts and culinary delights. Also home to a selection of restaurants representing cuisines around the world.

"The Crush" crepe from Crepe Boheme inside of the the PNC 2nd street market. Beneath the whipped cream and powdered sugar, stuffed inside the delicate crepe batter resides a curious concoction of fresh raspberries, quince paste and melted smoked brie.
