GROCERY SHOPPING
We still don't have a 'real' grocery store in the neighborhood, but in a pinch the Sierra Deli and Market has dairy products including milk and eggs, juice, some frozen food, and take out (or eat in) delicatessen food. It is open M-F 6:30 am-8 pm, and 7 am-6 pm Saturday. It's closed Sunday. It's a nice, short two-block walk to the corner of Third and Madison.
