What locals say

Insider tip 1+ 📍 Pearl Street Mall

Visit the bridge/rocks between Broadway and 10th, the animal statues, and the large boulder by the bookstore. In summer, enjoy the water fountain jets near the courthouse.

Insider tip Heads up 📍 Pearl Street

Be prepared for microclimates; downtown areas can be significantly warmer than surrounding neighborhoods, making heavy sweaters uncomfortable even in November.

“miserable walking down Pearl St. thought I’d be safe with a sweater in November.”

Insider tip 📍 Pearl Street Mall

If protesting on the sidewalk, you can generally stay as long as you don't touch the restaurant's private property (railings). Police may ask you to move slightly to avoid blocking awnings.

“as long as we aren’t touching the railing on the right side of the photo we’re good.”
