I do not shop here. Store is always dirty. I go to Harris Teater, Shoppers Food Warehouse or Giant; all within a mile of the house.

Food Scene
Cash only Peruvian Chicken restaurant. Sometimes the chicken is spectacular and sometimes it's just pretty darn good. For $14 you get a whole chicken, salad and a side (I usually go for the Yucca).

This place is a local favorite for Tex Mex Salvadorean Food. It started out as a little mom and pop place and has grown to engulf the three adjacent shops. Very good food and excellent margaritas.

Drinks & Nightlife
Live music venue a 3 minute walk from the house. Sometimes I go even when I don't have a ticket and just listen to the live music from the room next door.

Café Caturra

I'm not a fan of their pizza, but their other food is very good and it's a great place to catch a ball game.
