Essentials

The parking lot is a harrowing experience, and the store can be crowded, but the products are wonderful, and the prices are sometimes half of what you'd pay for the same quality at Ralph's or Gelsons. Especially wine, meats, delicious salads ready to assemble, frozen foods... well really just about everything. Open 9-9 every day. A good "lull" time is usually around 8:00-8:15 in the evening, after the rush hour but before those dashing in before closing time. This is technically a specialty store, so you won't find things like scotch tape or whole heads of lettuce, but you'll find all kinds of things you won't find elsewhere, and it's definitely worth it.

Food Scene

So delicious! And eleven doors down from the house. Open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. French, but not snooty, very fresh including pastries out of this world. For something light, I love their Boston salad. Pricy place with 18% gratuity included for dine-in, and it's very loud when it's busy which is much of the time. But it's great early in the morning, and many guests will share a massive gruyere cheese and Parisian ham croissant and bring it back to the place, or employ a similar strategy to make this something they can enjoy every day.
