Fed up with the big-box supermarket takeovers? Then hark back to the good ol' days with a neighborhood market that brings small-town charm (plus friendly service and incredibly fresh food) to the big city.

Vicente Foods carries all the requisite grocery store staples plus cosmopolitan extras served up with hometown flair. The produce section features fresh fruits and vegetables stacked up in unbelievably tidy, symmetrical displays. When you leave, your groceries are packaged in impossibly cute, red and white striped paper bags--the final flourish in the old-school shopping experience.
