Ye Olde Butcher's Shoppe.

[BrushStart]

Today I noticed something called the State Street Market and Deli. It is on Washington next to the Book Cadillac. I am going to try to make a walk to it this week. Its kind of funny because I noticed it right after looking at the old Quizno's and wondering to myself 'with all these hotel rooms and condos here, why hasn't anyone used this space for a small market!'

Unfortunately, that place is much more liquor store than it is grocery store/deli.

There will be a grocery store opening in the same building as the Washington Square Apartments [[formerly the Trolley Plaza?). They have been doing a lot of work there recently. If you're at the ground level, it'll be to the left of you.

I've gotten gyros from there before. It is one of those places that feels more tense than it should. Selling fruits and veggies is a nice touch, though.

So the jury is out. Lets say I want to get lunch. Should I walk there or not?

Personally, if I were coming from the courthouse up Washington Blvd, I'd make it last on my list of places to grab lunch in that area. In ascending order of price, hit the sub shop [[long ago was a Tubby's, called Motown something), the Big City Grill, which is attached to the Holiday Inn Express, or the outstanding 24Grille at B-C [[their sandwiches are not overly expensive, either).

There is also the Gateway Deli in the other direction at Fort/Washington Plaza, the Dime Building places, and the Coneys.

Thanks, I trypically meet folks I went to high school with at the Big City or the Anchor once or twice a month. I may just walk through the place and check it out but be prepared not to get a worthwhile lunch out of it. If it is a party store, its one of the nicer ones I've seen, at least from the outside.
