I went out this afternoon and sat in the eating area in one of the newer specialty grocery stores that opened here recently called Uncle Giuseppe's Marketplace. They are fairly expensive so I don't do a lot of shopping there, but they have a tremendous amount of merchandise, and a lot of it is Italian. They have a counter that makes pizza, a spot where you can get a pastry and a coffee, gelato, prepared foods, and lots of things you never knew you needed. I grabbed a coffee and sat in the eating area in the front of the store. There are shelves with Italian pottery and plants that separate the area from the cashiers...but they don't spoil the view. I sat there for at least an hour sketching the checkout counters and the interesting things around them.
