I've known about this store for a while but hadn't had the opportunity to stop by until today…read more Needing a holiday gift for a friend who loves Irish whisky, I dropped in as it was on my way from an appointment. There's about 6 to 8 parking spots along the building, fairly easy to access if turning off of Blair or 4th. The store front & building paint are in good repair. The lady I met & her staff (super helpful & friendly) were busy stocking, organizing, & also putting up this excellent display in the liquor area for the holidays. They have a massive wine & beer selection as well (not pictured). She said she has been in charge for about one year now & her focus has been on making the store clean, well-organized, and with a great variety of selection. I frequent liquor stores for wines, whiskies, & IPAs so I've seen the gamut of what's on offer in the DMV area & I can say S&S is the best organized & stocked that I've seen. On this visit, I was able to pick up two Irish whiskies I've not seen anywhere else, one being for my friend who I think will be pleased. I'll be back over to S&S!

Oh yeah white ppl walked in after us (we are black) & they didnt say anything to them i just want to add that cause that was again weird!!! I will never be back 0/10 experience

They…read morehave a great selection of snacks, condiments, beverages, locally produced baked goods, as well as fun homewares and tchotchkes. It is on the pricier side--I wouldn't consider this a place to do my one-stop shopping--but I had a fun time browsing their inventory and eventually bought a bag of seaweed chocolate shortbread from Barnacle Foods, as well as a can of mandarin orange sparkling water from a local brand called Moia. Compared to Each Peach Market in Mt. Pleasant, there is less seasonal produce and fewer refrigerated/frozen goods. They also don't have an in-house bakery (to my knowledge...I could be wrong), which is why I gravitate towards EP. However, Odd Provisions is still a delightful shop for food lovers and a great place to pick up housewarming gifts!

Four stars for local flavor. This small store is packed with alcohol and alcoholics. I heard, "in a…read morebrown bag with a straw" and was surprised that he had no straw. Bad service. This was a dingy place with "vice lives here" written all over it's dirty walls. Lots of betting going on. Two windows and even the liquor had a ride (glass bulletproof carousel). And no Grenadine! Very few mixers come to think of it. Why dilute the drink? I bought an unknown brand of Guatemalan rotgut (and made my offerings to the porcelain god later). If you like stereotypical liquor stores, this is the place for you.

I then voice called and the person who picked up acted annoyed, instead of saying "sorry it is late". Since they add on hefty fees, including a mystery fee, this is really below standard service, on top of the unfriendly, borderline rude guy who answered the phone. I know in other countries, manners are different, but in America, we expect the people we pay to at least be polite. There are dozens of other liquor stores in the DMV. Don't give this one your money.

This is one of my go-to spots. I love the unique selection of wine. We moved here from California…read moreand one of our favorite destinations was Valle De Guadalupe, in Mexico. Finding wine from this region is very rare -- but this spot had several options to choose from. It also includes a great range from across the country and some of the best wine regions around the world. They even sell one of my favorite wines from a small producer is Paso Robles that is even hard to find in Southern California. They have a wonderful wine selection as well as non-alcoholic options such as Ghia soda. Being a longtime Californian, I loved the many options to try these non-alcoholic drinks known as Nootropics, aka herbal drinks that give you a relaxed feeling without the hangover. It's definitely not a buzzed feeling but more of an inner calm if you want to chill and wake up refreshed the next morning. The wines are reasonably priced. They also have a wide range of hard liquors. I'm not a heavy booze drinker so mostly come here for the wines and the Ghia soda. But it seems to be a nice selection on the hard liquor side as well.

I love the eclectic feel and the friendly, personable staff. It's generally clean and organized even if the layout is hard to follow. I appreciate the variety of ingredients I can get here, from fresh nopales to cashew milk to tamarind to canned ackee. The huge number of fresh tortillas, both flour and corn, is also awesome. The only thing that would make Avenue better is a more diverse selection--it's missing some basics like nuts and tofu and fresh herbs (besides cilantro and parsley). If those gaps were filled this would be my regular grocery store!

Badia spices galore! This markets address is actually at 5010 New Hampshire Ave. The dry cleaners are next door and a liquor store is next door as well. You can also purchase beer and wine at the market. Limited amount of "health food" items, but you'll find soy, almond and coconut milk in frig. If your looking for ice cream, the selection is pretty limited. But if you're srsly jonesin' , you'll find something in the way of Breyers, Turkey Hill, Greens, and a random "premium" pint here and there.
