Rasht Bazaar
Rasht is known for its unique cuisine, particularly its seafood and traditional rustic lifestyle. This can be best observed during the day in its open air bazaar, with its many small food stores and vendors from surrounding villages offering fresh produce, eggs, live chickens and ducks, olives, fish... and shoppers busy bargaining in the packed alleys of the baazar and adjacent streets.
The uncovered bazaar is bounded by Imam Khomeini and Shariati streets. Little of any great antiquity remains, since most of the bazaar was burned by the Bolsheviks in 1920. If you are looking for caviar, persistent but discreet inquiries at the bazaar may be rewarded. Iranians believe that this is the best place to buy it. Prices here should be a little lower than in Tehran."
