Located in St. Paul, this is a really neat market inside an old brewery. Contains lots of food options (try Revival if you're not vegan or Pimento's if you are, plus Sweet Science ice cream for everyone!) and a brewery. There's lots of market stalls as well, including a mushroom store, a place with a million different flavors of cotton candy, halva, and more.
