Colorful, bright flowers fill the mall almost the entire year and street performers, with a multitude of talents, make the Pearl Street Mall one of the best people-watching destinations anywhere. The shopping, dining, and entertainment along the Pearl Street Mall and adjoining corridors (Pearl Street’s East & West Ends, Walnut & Spruce Streets as well as adjacent streets) is truly incredible. Come Downtown and feast at nationally renowned restaurants like The Kitchen, Frasca Food and Wine and Jax Fishouse to name a few.
