There are a few places to buy stuff (I recommend the spice bazaar stand, Salt N' Sundry is nice to browse if overpriced, the knife shop is interesting) It is a good place to get lunch especially at an off hour so you miss the rush - it does get crowded. There is outdoor seating - sort of a beer garden - as well. I found the chowder at Rappahanock Oyster Bar to be a bit too smoky.
