Everything Else
We recommend this mostly for the location. It's a typical convenience store (candy, chips, canned stuff, tooth brushes, soda, wine, beer). Overpriced, but you pay for convenience.

Sugar Mama's Bakeshop
1905 S 1st StAmazing pastries and cakes! They also serve wine.
Small organic, local grocer. They have nice salads, pizza slices, and other food ready to eat, and also a bit of produce, chips, cereal, cheese, meat, beer, and wine. A little pricey, but good.

Drinks & Nightlife
This is a really unique bar. Great outdoor seating with Patrizi's--nice, but expensive Italian restaurant--on the premises. The Vortex Theater is there too (cool plays). Butterfly often has cool bands
