Ethnic Markets

Ben and I have always shared an excitement for ethnic markets. When I was small my Mom used to take me to the European Import Store near the bratwurst stand at the West Side Market. I still need to have a requisite brat on a soft roll and make a stop into the import store, which will always be the "German Store" to me.

This week we discovered an Asian super market near Warrensville and 480. It was surprisingly large, very clean and well organized (the aisles had English labels). They had a huge amount of fresh Asian produce as well as lots of sauces, soups, noodles, tea, Asian cookware and tea pots. It was like taking a vacation to Asia without leaving town.

So, what is your favorite ethnic grocer, and why?
