In Detroit there's the Eastern Market, it's over 180 years old. I remember going there as a boy with my dad and it was like I'd imagine the United Nations is like with people speaking dozens of different languages. A very wide range of food, crafts and beverages. The aisles were packed and you could hardly make your way.
Lots of small different restaurants. .
Rungis is the successor to Les Halles, which was in Paris proper.[1] Like most of the big urban food markets worldwide, the serious wholesale business was moved out to somewhere that semitrailers could get in and park. The London and New York markets have been previously mentioned on HN.
