"Open since 1979, the Gourmet Shop is always bustling. The wait is never too long though, because the kitchen and wine shop are there to be explored. Customers may come for the brie and bacon croissant, but leave with a French jacquard tablecloth, an excellent bottle of mildly effervescent txakoli, and a slab of imported cheese for later. Saturdays are particularly delightful for browsing, as the wine shop often has $1 wine tastings to help budding oenophiles looking to expand their palates." - Anne Wolfe Postic
