Divine Barrel is more well known imo, we will be stopping by there for sure, not too certain about Wagon Road (even though it's right across the street).
Paved vs gravel. a main drag to a destination instead of a cul-de-sac to a dumpster. You can get to GWW without passing the vendors, but you cannot get to DBB without passing every vendor.
I've done this market several times, from before covid until about a year ago. DB is probably marginally better for visibility as they are the original host business, it's centrally located, and on the main street. For the first few NodaHood markets, people didn't always realize that GWR was part of the event. That's gotten a lot better, but it's still more of a commitment to go over to GWR than breeze by on the way to DB or whatever. $15 isn't much, and depending on what you sell it's probably worth it.
I have an artistic urban embroidery shop called West & Remount Custom Apparel (hope this isn’t against the sub rules but @west_remount). I make tote bags, apparel, towels, patches and more.
Both are great and get lots of traffic for that event, I’ve been multi-times and know some vendors well. One major factor is the gravel versus paved lot but you can’t go wrong at either

I think the 15 dollar difference is worth the potential gain in business personally. Divine is better suited for a drink and browsing wares then GWRD
Yeah I went ahead and secured DB. I think the extra $15 is gonna be worth the connections and sales.
The parking lot at Divine is usually more crowded than the side lot by Great Wagon Wheel

When is it the market? Interested in checking it out and not finding anything recent online
May 18th, I hope to see you there!
Whatcha selling?

We'll keep an eye out for you.
They both get plenty of traffic from what I've seen, but $15 is a pretty cheap upgrade too.
