Whole Foods
We really love Green Grocer, Provenance, City Provisions and even still have a soft spot for the waning Fox & Obel, but none of those spots is a true one stop shop for produce, meat and local products like this theme-park/grocery. Oh, yeah, and there’s a bar if you find grocery shopping stressful.
