At the East Indian restaurant, they always make fresh flat bread on a drum oven that just smells great. If you get thirsty there are coffee shops, a Mac's grocery store, and numerous bars and restaurants to eat at. The atmosphere is festive and the patios are packed on a hot day. Plenty of sit down places to eat if you get tired too. At each intersection you havethe crowd to take a timeout to listen to the various bands that play through the afternoon.
Street performers ranging from clowns, jugglers, and even magicians also entertain.
I've seen fire eaters, pie throwing, to knights in armour over the years, and Shakespeare in the Park usually shows up to perform the Bard's work to the public. At the various crafts booths you can see clothes, jewelry, nick-nacks, plenty of pottery, and other hand crafts for sale. For some reason 1998 was the year of painted flowerpots.
