The Closest Food Choices:
- Fresh Thyme Farmer's Market Just 2 blocks down the street. This full-service grocery store has a great deli with salads, sandwiches, hot meals, pizza by-the-slice and many other offerings. There's also a full-service meat department and all the usual groceries. Their liquor store is on the parking lot side of the building.
- The Market at Malcolm Yards One block behind Fresh Thyme is a fantastic "food hall" restaurant. (Think indoor food trucks without the trucks.) many food vendors, fantastic pizza, amazing ice cream, a full bar and a wall of pay by the ounce beer and wine taps. A bit noisy with people of all ages having fun and great food.
