On Sundays there is an outdoor antiques and flea market set up here, but any day of the week you can visit the antique shops along the plaza or enjoy a drink in one of the bars or restaurants. Many of the establishments here have live music in the evenings.
The San Francisco River used to run along where the Heroes del 5 de Mayo Boulevard is now, one block from 6 Sur. The river was diverted but the toads that used to proliferate in the area close to the river left their name.
There is a small but famous cantina on the corner of 5 Oriente and 6 Sur, called La Pasita, which serves a special raisin liqueur.
Next stop on the walking tour: the Casa de los Muñecos, "House of Figures."
Directions: Walk along 5 Oriente to 2 Sur, turn right and walk north two and a half blocks (the name of the street changes to 2 Norte). At number 2 on 2 Norte you'll see the Casa de los Muñecos.
