“Smithfield is iconic. The earlier you go, the better choice you’ll have, and it’s always good banter with traders. Some have been there for years — decades. Even if you don’t like meat, it’s a fun place to visit, to admire the 19th century architecture. Christmas is always a special time there, too. I often get a three-bird roast: turkey stuffed with duck, then chicken, and with stuffing in the middle.”
