THE ESSENTIAL STOP | Among the most significant city landmarks to open in the last decade is Ponce City Market, housed in a 2.1-million-square-foot building that once served as a Sears, Roebuck and Co. retail and distribution center. Whether you’re looking for a flower shop, bookstore, women’s or men’s apparel, toys or furniture, there’s plenty to purchase, plus a wide-ranging food hall downstairs, a carnival-inspired rooftop area and always a steady flow of visitors.

From ground-floor retail and restaurants to an amusement park on the Roof, Ponce City Market in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood is an exciting destination where visitors can expect to spend a full day of exploration and entertainment.
