Imagine you could go to a local grocery store that was truly a one-stop shop. A place where you could order a cocktail, have some fresh, raw oysters and get all your shopping done with an emphasis on local and regional farms at affordable prices. Mission accomplished at Dryades Public Market, a multi-use space and market on Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard that opened earlier this year. Take a peek inside with these photos, courtesy of the market, and keep reading for more details!
