New York used to be comprised mostly of smaller stores. We're all brainwashed now to shop carrying little baskets, lol.<BR/><BR/>Mexico sounds wonderful.

Recently a state-of-the art store, called Mega, in Mazatlan opened to raves. But, I still prefer the small neighborhood tiendas. Shopping is more personal and contributes to community solidarity. Keeping one's larder stocked, however, is a challenge!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-41567635414420134342008-02-26T21:59:00.000-05:002008-02-26T21:59:00.000-05:00Ming, Mark made the gumbo last night, including th...Ming, Mark made the gumbo last night, including the rioux, which took forever. I could smell the thing from the fire stair. Delicious!<BR/><BR/>it's a lot of work, though. I can see how you need incentive to do it.<BR/><BR/>Fish, the little old ladies are killer. They are tough. I know what you mean, I only went on the UWS at odd times.<BR/><BR/>Tammy, nice seeing you!<BR/><BR/>Spandrel, that's cool. I never saw the 'Live Bar' in there. I'll have to take more photos another time. It's outrageous, what they have.<BR/><BR/>Mama, welcome.<BR/>lol about Pathmark. Brooklyn's gotten a little more upscale, though it can always improve.<BR/><BR/>PP, lol. Maybe it's time to open a nice grocery store down under? You'd make $$$!<BR/>I'll have to go undercover uptown!Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-40274477853578382902008-02-26T21:20:00.000-05:002008-02-26T21:20:00.000-05:00I wish we have supermarkets like this Down Under, ...I wish we have supermarkets like this Down Under, I can spend hours and hours roaming the aisles hehe...<BR/><BR/>The meat locker place sounds interesting, you should really pay it a visit and let us know all about it! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-9627568635063184232008-02-26T20:23:00.000-05:002008-02-26T20:23:00.000-05:00Sounds like a great place to shop.

I pointed out the olive graphic, and he agreed that made much more sense.<BR/><BR/>I love stores like this and can spend hours among the condiments, marveling at the pickled things and pesto'd herbs. Looks delicious!<BR/><BR/>And I second Laura's vote for Wegmans... we just got one in our area and it's an excellent place to shop.Spandrel Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782425263902619415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-4413806063287601192008-02-26T15:23:00.000-05:002008-02-26T15:23:00.000-05:00I have never seen so many olives before.

All of them are awesome and have great variety, but a visit to Rochester is incomplete without visiting the Pittsford Wegmans. I have never been in such a massive (and yummy) supermarket in my life.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676579695252330189noreply@blogger.com
