"Hours can be spent perusing the aisles of the Downtown location of Phoenicia Specialty Foods, the brainchild of Lebanese immigrants Bob and Arpi Tcholakian. The massive deli, shop, and cafe houses 15,000 products hailing from more than 50 countries. Dine in while you shop — Phoenicia offers shawarma sandwiches with freshly baked pita and slow-roasted lamb, French pastries, boutique wines, and imported beer." - Megha McSwain, Brittany Britto Garley
