Sticky Rice for the Hainan Chicken is the best item in the market, a Pupusa from Sarita's, a petit four from Valerie's and then a few beers from Golden Road. You cannot go wrong at any of the stalls. Check out the cheese shop for "Meredith Dairy" goat/sheep cheese in olive oil. Check out the Bradbury building lobby across the street (Blue Bottle Coffee is located at the street level)

Right around the corner, a 3 minute walk. Definitely an interesting experience. The restoration of the property and attention to detail is a sight to be seen along with a very peaceful, serene garden that is completely unexpected in a very positive way. I don't believe it's open on Mondays. Check their website for specific times they are open to the public.
