Pavement is generally smooth and a security detail makes regular rounds during the day in a segway like vehicle. I have no experience with its efficacy however.

Food and traffic wise, if planned accordingly, this is a nice stop, but nothing to write home about. This area by design generally works for the office worker, and is possibly a more comfortable experience for anyone looking to...
