    This has been on my list for decades, so I had high expectations and was so disappointed. The…read moreentire market is maybe 10 sellers and the items were very uses, not gently used. The food options were very limited. There was one vendor selling elotes, and another selling ice cream and granitas. We were done in 10 minutes. Very disappoining.

    It brings me no joy to write this, as Maxwell Street Market used to be a Sunday tradition my…read morepartner and I really looked forward to. The MSM is a shell of what it used to be. It started even before the pandemic - some vendors stopped showing up, and eventually the Market was cut in half. It used to extend past Taylor street all the way to Roosevelt, where a Maxwell Street Market sign still stands. Now it ends at Taylor. Then in 2020, Rubi's realized they were too big for the market and opened up their own successful restaurant in Pilsen. And rather than being open every Sunday they cut back to being only open half the year. We went back for Father's Day this past weekend. We moved away from the South Loop in 2021, so we hadn't been back in a while, but what we found was super disappointing. There used to be a churro truck from Xurro. A place specializing in the most amazing Oaxacan tamales. Several competing taco vendors. Fresh produce from local farmers. All of them gone. There's still one vendor selling fresh roasted elotes, and another vendor selling ice cream and granitas. But if you want a meal, your only option is La Flor de Mexico. Don't get me wrong, their food is pretty good, but it's literally your only option now, and because of this they get slammed and we saw them either being slow on orders or missing people's orders entirely. I'm not sure what happened...is the city charging too much? Is this a self-fulfilling prophecy, where fewer people are showing up which means fewer vendors which means fewer people? I used to highly recommend this to anyone in the area, now I'm not sure I'll ever return. Hopefully something happens to re-spark the magic that used to be here.

    Swap-O-Rama? More like Thrift-O-Rama!! Just $2 gets you all day access. You'll find pretty much…read moreeverything: fresh produce, clothing & replica jerseys, gardening supplies, lots of pottery and everything in between. Did I mention Mexican staples like micheladas, churros and Horchata!? And yes that means tacos and similar eats are nearby. In fact, if you decide to walk-in hungry, makes sure to get a hand stamp (or maybe 2) to allow re-entry. You can find all the Mexican eats your stomach may desire inside, however the best eats are actually around the perimeter before you enter. More specifically nearby 43rd & Wood Street. Park on 43rd and take the hike to S-O-R. Trust me, you have to try the food along the way. And this way, after you've spent the day at the place you can even find lunch on your walk back to your car. From my experience, stalls start to close down around 1pm, target arriving early, perhaps between 10am and 1pm. Pro Tip: Bring a minimum of $50 in cash so you are prepared to shop & negotiate. Smaller bills recommended.

    There's not really much to say but it's a flea market and u never know what you'll find. U can…read morefind just about everything like furniture, records, food, toiletries, home improvement items....it is worth the visit. They have several Swap-O-Rama locations. I was near this 1 and it was my 1st time in over a year. I enjoyed just walking up and down the rows of vendors. Be careful u will be tempted to buy a lot. Though I did not find what I was looking for I found a few items I liked. Only $1 entrance fee. Make sure u get stamped if u need to take items to your car or need to step away. I brought a large reusable bag with me. U can also bring a cart. Happy shopping!!
