Specialty or high end grocery stores

I%26#39;m hoping to score some info on trendy, high end, or unusual grocery stores (not necessarily a single ethnicity), ala Obel %26amp; Fox in Chicago. Any ideas? Thanks!

Specialty or high end grocery stores

where are you looking?

I am not familiar with Obel and Fox, but I wonder if you are familiar with some of the co-ops in Minneapolis.

The Wedge at 22nd and Lyndale. Certainly unusual compared with the mainstream grocers in town. Many organic and unusual products, for sure.

Also there is Mississippi Market on Randolph in St. Paul. There has been a big trend especially lately toward organic and homegrown foods, so you might consider those.

Also, there is Trader Joe%26#39;s. Probably the trendiest place to go around here these days. Lots of organic and unusual things there, and cheap.

Specialty or high end grocery stores

Holyland Deli on Central Ave. Middle-eastern and most unusual.

Excellent food and groceries.

El Burrito Mercado on East Lyndale. Eat in or shop. Not fancy, but good and interesting shopping.

Some of the Byerly%26#39;s/ Lunds stores are fabulous. The one at Excelsior and #100 is outstanding!

oooh. I second Holyland Deli. Good call.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! I appreciate your input and will be taking you up on some of these ideas.
