As we wait for the conference to begin, we hopped over to Lisbon to check out Mercado Ribeira. On one side you have a hip urban food court with top chefs serving until the wee hours. On the other side you have a traditional early morning market. One side opens when the other side closes. While the market building is more than a century old, this dining/shopping concept is less than a year old. Looks like it's thriving!

This is a great infographic about why we should buy local (and support a public market in the process)! http://tinyurl.com/ng8gldl
