Cons
–
Can get crowded and chaotic, not ideal for strollers or very young kids during peak hours
–
Limited parking and tight streets; driving in the Party District can be stressful
–
Not a marquee, internationally famous “event” on its own—more of a local monthly happening
–
Selection varies a lot; if you expect curated antiques like in larger Western European markets, you might leave underwhelmed
