State Street
The main street through the old town, its lower section pedestrianized and lined with Spanish-style shops, restaurants and theatres.
State Street runs north from Stearns Wharf. The lower part of town has been converted into a pedestrian street, with galleries, cafés, brand-name shops and outdoor dining. It links the new Paseo Nuevo shopping center, the Arlington Theatre and the Museum of Art. You can rent a bike to ride along the street. Evenings through late night are the busiest time for dining and wine bars. On Tuesday afternoons and Saturday mornings, a farmers' market is held nearby.
