In general, Americans don't look for complexity in wine, which makes their taste in wine rather limited... or even questionable. Well, in the middle of Selby Avenue and its bars, you'll find an Ali Baba's cave run by irresistible lovers of good varietals. It's like being in Europe, with the best French, Italian and Spanish côteaux... Not forgetting continental wines from the USA, with Chile and Argentina also featuring prominently. You'll appreciate the attentiveness and advice of these sales staff... who have a great deal of experience in this field!

Seasonal fruits and vegetables, candy, bagels and cookies are all homemade products that are available on the market. It is usually open at Thanksgiving time on Saturday morning. Namely that there is not only one address but several throughout the city, information to be taken from the site.

In 1979, El Burrito Mercado was just a tiny store. The immigrant community and the growing Latin and Mexican population have contributed to its development. It is now home to numerous stalls selling clothes, music and trinkets, all imported from South America. You'll find the spices and ingredients you need to prepare Latin American dishes. But you can also sample Latin or Mexican specialities in one of the market's restaurants. A must-see, if you have a little time.

For twenty-three years now, this shop has been feeding the inhabitants of the neighbourhood with its excellent ice creams and delicious cakes, and this is likely to continue for a long time to come as the place is still full! Here, everything is homemade, and that's probably the key to success. The choice is quite large: we always hesitate between sundays, brownies and banana split. No comparison with Italian ice creams, but still, you're always tempted by a scoop of ice cream sprinkled with hazelnuts and a chocolate coulis.
