Church Street

Located centrally in Burlington is the Church Street Marketplace, which is a pedestrian only walkway.  Parking on the street around the area was pretty easy for us to find, even on a Saturday night, which is quite convenient for most tourists.

Here, you'll find many local restaurants and shops featuring all different types of food.  Our personal favorite was the Three Tomatoes Trattoria.  They use all local and fresh ingredients and made one of the best Chicken Piccatta's I've ever had.  There's also a Ben & Jerry's located here for you ice cream fanatics.  My favorite part of Church Street is that it isn't just a bunch of "chain" stores.  It really gives you that local flair which made us quite happy.  Honestly, who wants to go on vacation and eat the same thing they can get at home?

There are also street performers here, which are free of charge for their entertainment (although tips are obviously appreciated).  We saw one who did a comedy/fire show that concluded with him jumping through a hoop of fire.

If you're in Burlington, you definitely should spend some time on Church Street!
