Talk of the Town

PONCE City MARKET: The Ponce City Market is so much more than the old Sears building turned into a dining and retail complex. Take the original elevator up to the roof and you’ve made a trip to Skyline Park, a midway of familiar, family-friendly games, including Skee Ball, Derby Race, and Ring Toss, along with a mini-golf, a three-story high slide and a Heege Tower.

There are plenty of traditional midway snacks, from hot dogs to hot pretzels, though there is also a more adult fare, including tacos, wraps, and a serious selection of frozen adult beverages.
