Pike Place Market, Seattle
Pike Place Market is much more than a food market. There are food and craft vendors, restaurants and shopping. The market hosts events from cooking demonstrations to soap-making classes. Select restaurants in the market also participate in Seattle Restaurant Week.
Tsukiji Fish Market, Tokyo
The market is known for its famous early-morning fish auction. Vendors previously banned visitors from viewing the intense auction. In addition to fish, the market offers other food items and dining options.
