Would recommend the french onion soup at the french stall. It was mindblowing good tho a little on the pricey end but worth every penny. The poke stall was mediocre and I would advise you to skip it unless you need some poke desperately. There are many other food stalls here which serves a variety of cuisine like Ethiopian, Chinese, Korean and so on. It's near Clinton station ( green line) too.

The Randolph Street Market is a wonderful place to find period pieces, whether it is furniture, vintage clothing, jewelry or just to shop. convenient with free parking! A real treat, I went for the first time and will continue to return as the items and vendors are constantly being refreshed! Real fun, 12 months a year, indoors in the winter.
