Th is weekend, the market is welcoming
a few new food vendors. Th e Unique

pie or yummy cupcakes baked with
a little magic!
For vintage lovers, Used & Collectibles

meaning meal) will have you coming
back every week with their delicious
selection of Korean inspired cuisine
by up-and-coming chef Juwon Song.
