There is a lot to love for this market. If you like the club scene you will really enjoy this place. They sell some amazing and cool novelties. When they said young, I instantly remembered, yes! It is very hip and a lot of young adults hang out around this market at night. Some of the most colorful and crazy people. I loved it!
