2nd Street Market

 The 2nd Street Market

Quan Nguyen & David Williams

We left STEM at 9:30 am and followed the iron horse trail until we reached Eastwood Metro park. From there we followed the mad river recreation trail until monument avenue to Webster street and then a left onto second street.Once at The 2nd street market we we greeted with a wide array of stalls, mostly selling food and snacks. We spent a lot of time eating the variety of food from soup to a multitude of Thai cuisine with Popsicle of almost every fruity flavor. . The personalities of each vendor and person we met were very unique and friendly. The atmosphere was open and welcoming. The experience was overall very enjoyable with the fresh air and good food.

2nd Street Market was founded in 2001 as a solution for the lack of space for the River and Winter Markets. The Market itself is located in an old B&O railroad building, built in 1911, which has the address of 600 E. Second St. Dayton, OH 45402. It opens every Thursday and Friday from 11 A.M. to 3 P.M. and on Saturday from 8 A.M. to 3 P.M.

Made up of over 40 vendors, 2nd Street Market offers goods from fresh produces from local farmers to many different type of foods and merchandise such as Thai cuisine, French crepe, fish, meat pies, coffee, bread, chocolate, herbs, flowers, and many more.
