Main Street Market has been a centerpiece of the historic Gainesville Square for over 10 years and has housed some of the more eccentric, small businesses that Gainesville has to offer in that time. Main Street Market calls itself “a collection of boutiques, eateries and studios,” which is a hub of small business commerce in the downtown area.
Today, Cosa Nostra anchors the building with a popular Italian eatery that boasts a thoughtful wine list and neighborhood favorites like the Chicken Piccata and Lobster Gnocchi.
On the main level is Sweet Magnolia’s, a popular lunch spot with homemade sandwiches, soups and desserts for any taste. Just across from Sweet Magnolia’s is Corner Cottage which offers an array of gifts, embroidery services and home decor.
