ShipYards Market is happening on the North Shore. This one is free to enter. Don't have to pay extra. Every Friday, there are different food trucks. Sadly, there are not a lot of vegan options. Might be vegetarian options depending on the food truck. So come and meet me and enjoy the atmosphere. We will listen to music and taste great food.

Please note we will meet at Waterfront Station at 6pm. Near Starbucks.
If you catch the Canada line, you walk up and tap in. I will be coming by the Expo line. Then we will ride the sea bus together and walk to the market. If you live on the North shore, come and meet at the sea bus.
**Once I am at the market, I will not be checking my phone.
