Downtown Container Park

Looking for an escape from hotel restaurants and crowded malls? Keep your eyes peeled for the spectacular fire-spewing praying mantis sculpture guarding Downtown Container Park. Constructed from more than 40 shipping containers (did the name give it away?), the indie complex offers unique local shops, bars and restaurants such as the Art Box, selling reasonably priced local work, Pinches Tacos, an authentic Mexican spot, and Oak & Ivy whiskey bar. There’s also an event stage and a kids’ play area.
