You never know what you’ll find while shopping for art supplies at Starlandia. But it’ll be interesting and entertaining. Head around the corner to Picker Joe’s for antique mall fun.

SPECIALTY FOODS

Chinatown Market looks like a deceptively unimpressive bodega. Unless you know about the secret door to the back room full of Asian ingredients. Also, don’t be afraid to open the giant walk-in doors, that’s where you’ll find fresh Asian produce.

Frali Gourmet makes their own pasta. At $5 per pound, you couldn’t make your own for that. They also have some Italian groceries, frozen ravioli, and pre-made entrees.

Brighter Day is the best local health food store. The staff is friendly and knowledgable about all things relating to vitamins, supplements, oils, etc. They have an extensive bulk selection of grains and spices.

Al Madinneh Halel Meat and Grocery is your go-to for all things Middle eastern.

Krishna is your go-to for Indian groceries. It’s a little bit of a drive, but well worth the trip to stock up on your fave curry ingredients.

Don’t forget FANCY PARKERS: the 24 hour downtown gas station/convenience store famous for 2am fried chicken and biscuits, imported wine, jewelry, housewares and clothes.
