Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.
