US2011 - Quincy Market

Quincy Market is a historic building in downtown Boston, Massachusetts.

 

 

Constructed between 1824 and 1826, the Market was built to provide an expansion of shopping spaces to cater for Boston’s commercial demand.

 

 

Covering a total area of 2,500 square metres, Quincy’s east and west facades exhibit a strong Roman-style architecture, with its triangular pediments and Doric columns. In contrast, the sides are more modern and American, with rows of rectangular windows.

 


With its rectangular-shaped building, vendor stalls occupy both sides of its long hallway, down in the middle of the building.

 

 

While browsing through, The Monkey Bar caught my attention.

 

 

Serving a range of fruit salads and juices, …

 

 

… I ordered their sugar free Tropical Blast, a Frappuccino that consists of  fresh papaya, mango and pineapple juices.

 

 

It was indeed my very first take on caffeine-free and non-Starbucks Frappuccino. What a refreshing end to my trip in Boston!!
