34. FARMERS MARKETS It’s the best shopping there is. Farmers markets put supermarkets (and malls) to shame. Not only is there food of all kinds – far more than just veggies – you can also buy flowers and crafts, and pass an hour or two browsing (and eating). The Midtown market is a delight, but make time too for the mecca-like State Farmers Market during the bounteous summer. midtownraleighfarmersmarket.com or statefarmersmarket.org
