Faneuil Hall Marketplace, one of Boston's popular tourist destinations, officially reopened to the public Wednesday to a light but steady stream of visitors.

In Quincy Market, which closed in March because of the coronavirus pandemic, food stalls were open and staff were on the lookout for customers.

Outside guitarist and singer Ryan LaPerle performed in the South Market for passers by and a few families and visitors, and Violin Viiv plugged in her clear, electric violin by Faneuil Hall, facing the market, as visitors and bicyclists passed by.
