There were a lot of orange juice stands all around the square. The nuts looked good but we didn't buy anything. We just walked around and checked everything out.

Argana Restaurant
On the second story in 2011 there was a bombing at the Argana cafe. It's all fixed now and it's the Argana Restaurant. I didn't feel unsafe except for the obvious pickpockets that followed us for a while but a quick change of direction got them off of our trail.
