Timeline

    The Crumpet Shop

    Grab a warm, organic crumpet with a sweet or savory topping. The Crumpet Shop opens at 7AM and stays open until 4PM, so you have plenty of time to enjoy a snack before the evening crowds arrive.

  2. 13:45

    SIFF Cinema Downtown

    Walk eight minutes from the market to SIFF Cinema Downtown. Arrive early to grab tickets and settle in. This is one of just three Cinerama theaters in the world, showing art, indie, and foreign films in a unique, immersive format.

  3. 14:45

    The Pink Door

    After the film, head to The Pink Door for a drink. This Italian spot doubles as a romantic bar with a trellis-covered outdoor deck and occasional cabaret entertainment. It is open until 11:30 PM on weekdays, giving you time to unwind.

Local tip
