Triangle Building
All in a row in the diminutive Triangle Building, sandwiched between Pike Pl, Pine St
and Post Alley, are Mr D's Greek Delicacies, Mee Sum Pastries (try the steamed pork
bun), a juice bar and Cinnamon Works - all great choices for a quick snack.
First Avenue Buildings
The market's newest buildings, added mainly in the 1980s, blend seamlessly into the
older hive. Here you'll find Pike Pl's only two accommodations - Pensione Nichols
and Inn at the Market - a couple of classic pubs and community resources such as a
medical center.
North End
The market's North End stretches along Pike Pl from Pine St to Victor Steinbrueck Park
- a popular meeting point for daily walking tours. The 1918 Soames-Dunn building,
once occupied by a seed and a paper company, is now home to the world's oldest Star-
bucks. Beware of crowds and errant elbows knocking over your mermaid-logo coffee
cup.
