What was in it? Panino should always be hot.

Priced like they are in tourist traps? Thanks for the warning. Like you, I'm a fan of local markets.
Beware of the crowds, though, if you want to eat at the pizza/pasta restaurant. I went by myself and got there around 11:30 and, after waiting around ten minutes in line at the hostess station, was seated immediately at the counter, but parties of two or more were being quoted a 45minute wait. When I left around 12:20ish, the line was so long, I couldn't even see the end of it.
Thank you for THAT warning too. Yikes. Trendy attracts the crowds.
Heading to Arthur Ave in a few weeks. Too far for the hoi polloi.
