Every city we have visited has a "snack street." In Xian the snack street/market is located near the Drum Tower and central Mosque. This is where one can sample pistachio candy, peanut candy (tastes like the inside of a Butterfingers candy bar), flatbreads, candied fruit and kabobs galore. No scorpions, sorry. After we returned from the Warrrior Museum we took a taxi into town for $1.40. We climbed up to the city wall for a view and walked down Culture Street which has many market stalls selling souvenirs as well as artwork and calligraphy. For dinner we had Sprite, dumplings and cold beans at De Fa Chang for 3 people for $10.00.
PS: Of course we ate the scorpions in Beijing!
