You've seen it on travel channels - the explosive fish market with seafood flying across the air! Spotting mermaids at the "original" Starbucks (it's really the 2nd store, since the first Starbucks was on 2000 Western Ave) and just soaking up the vibes! Do go for that quintessential photo-bomb outside the pier.
