M2M Mart Monday, September 14, 2009
I shopped here a couple of time when I lived in the neighborhood but did so with a focus on the 1 or 2 things that I needed. I went back recently just to explore and really started to appreciate all of the things that I missed out on when I was living around the block. For the staples for an Asian dish at a reasonable price (especially for the neighborhood) M2M really works.

  Tremont Meat Market, Inc Monday, June 29, 2009
I was looking for somewhere in the Bronx that sold whole pigs to roast for a Fourth of July party... I called around and either they didn't sell whole pigs or the prices were ridiculous. I called Tremont Meat Market and they had them at just about any size I wanted and were less than half the price of any other place I called. Just give them a couple of days notice and they can get you what you need. They're awesome!

  Super 88 Market Friday, June 05, 2009
If you've been to the other Super 88's you know what to expect. This one isn't much different. Super 88 is definitely the best place in the Boston area to go to when you're looking for cool Asian ingredients at a really good price.

This review doesn't sound that exciting - I know - but that's because Super 88 no longer surprises me. They always seem to have what I'm looking for so I'm no longer shocked and awed when I find what I'm looking for... However, that's a very good thing.

  Dae Han Oriental Market Wednesday, June 03, 2009
Dae Han place is one of the more reasonably priced Asian food markets in the Waltham/Watertown area. All of your basic Korean (and many other Asian) food needs can be met here and the price are a bit better than Reliable in Union Square.

Oh yeah, there 'tea aisle' is definitely worth checking out. The variety of teas and all of their many uses is quite fascinating.

  Shop Rite Supermarket Friday, May 29, 2009
What can I say about this Shop Rite? It is pretty uninteresting if you're looking to find some cool ingredients for exotic dishes. However, it is pretty big and will have just about everything you'll need for your basic, American kitchen. If that's all you desire - and you live up here in the middle of nowhere - this could be a great place for you.

  Good & Natural Sunday, April 19, 2009
This place is incredible! So great that I literally went around the store telling everyone that worked there how awesome this place is. I had no idea that such a useful health food store existed in the Bronx... I'm so glad I finally found it. Oh, one more thing - if they don't have what you're looking for just let them know and they'll try to get it for you.

  Market Basket Friday, January 09, 2009
I go out of my way to go here instead of Shaw's even though Market Basket is twice as far away. It's great to go somewhere that simply has a lot of variety at great prices with the bonus of a great produce section. Anyone wanting more ethnic ingredients to spice up their cooking can almost definitely find it here.

Siempre se que puedo encontrar mis platanos verdes aqui. It almost feels like I'm back home in New York... almost.

  Formaggio Kitchen Saturday, December 13, 2008
Formaggio Kitchen has the best stuff I've found in the area. It can be a little pricey but the quality makes it so worth it. Next time you visit Formaggio be sure to buy some of the Samira's Homemade hummus. I've had a lot of hummus in my lifetime and this hummus just blew me away. I've also had some of her tabouli and an Egyptian 'hummus' made from fava beans and I've never had anything as good. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately, this is the closest thing they have to a Whole Foods around there. But given the alternatives... not too bad.

  Evergood Super Market Thursday, July 24, 2008
I think the only reason this place is in business is because there isn't a real alternative for 10 blocks in any direction so people almost have no choice but to go there if they need something in a hurry. It is REALLY EXPENSIVE that I try avoiding going there whenever I can. But, going back to my theory of not really having a choice, I go there when I need a quick fix and they usually have what I need.
