Everything Else
They're local, mindful, and simply all around great. You can grab a sandwich from the deli and find some really good wines here. Our suggestions: the Vinho Verde. It's under $10 and delish. Their produce is a little more on the pricier side, but it's the price we pay to know that our food is being sourced responsibly.
