Another first stop on my list today--and what a find!…read more Tucked away from Broad St. (keep an eye out for the sign), this Latin market is a hidden gem. From the moment I stepped inside, I was struck by how immaculate and well-stocked the place was, featuring a wide array of products from across Central and South America. The drink cooler was stocked with beverages from vendors I had not seen before. The veggie section was impressive for a market its size, but the star of the show was the vast selection of flours for making tortillas, arepas, and other delights--I've never seen such a variety! To top it off, the checkout experience was a pleasure, thanks to the friendly and helpful woman behind the counter. Though it's a bit off the beaten path, this market is definitely worth the detour. I can see myself returning often whenever I'm in the West End, even if it means going a few extra miles!

Who doesn't like a little roadside produce stand? I try to support local markets like this…read morewhenever I can. This market was set up off Patterson Avenue, a pretty busy road. I pulled over to get some Hanover tomatoes as the colorful advertising signs lured me in! I bought a few things, the tomatoes, some cukes, a few apples. Here's where I take my "stand"! I hesitate to say anything negative about local folks, after all, they are just trying to make a buck, but I was not impressed with the produce here. The strawberries were Driscoll's, the same as at any grocer and they were past their prime. The raspberries were fuzzy and the broccoli was not fresh at all! The prices were not even as good as the Food Lion down the street. But, I went ahead and purchased some fruit and veggies to support this stand. They don't take credit cards so I had to go to my car and hunt for change. The plants and garden décor they had for sale were high priced as well. The guy working there didn't know where the produce came from when I asked. I left and went to Food Lion and finished my produce shopping. Sadly, I wouldn't stop again, there are so many other nice farmer's market around that deserve and earn my business.

We went away with a golden dragonfruit, (which piqued the interest of my five year old), a package of bourbon creams, (which piqued the interest of my Scottish husband who cant't find them in the places we usually shop), a bulk package of lentils, some indian packaged snacks, and some jacob's cream crackers. We left without any british chocolate much to my husband's dismay, but next time we shop there I will arrive with a list prepared for items needed for asian dishes I'd like to make, and we can grab a chocolate bar then! Checkout was easy, and it was a busy saturday but no long waits. Next time we go we will also plan to grab our lunch too--the food court looked stellar.

I have no idea what that means, but they have good sandwiches. What to get: A Prosciutto sandwich with Fresh Mozzarella added, maybe What else: Expect an upcharge to add Fresh Mozz How to improve: Don't upcharge so much for Fresh Mozz (sigh) Nick's is a little run-down grocery store which sort-of feels like walking into a check-cashing shop or an urban convenience store that just happens to have a wonderful old-school NY-NJ style Italian deli inside. The deli itself is great, and makes a lot of awesome sandwiches for decent prices. As I said, I don't like the weird upcharges for certain ingredients, but so be it. It makes the prices of a sandwich soar from decent to ridiculous. The sandwiches aren't altogether authentic Italian NY-NJ style, but they are very good. I loved the parts of it that I had fresh, however when I had the rest of the sandwich a little later it had gotten extremely squidgy and soggy because they use a regular loaf of bread rather than anythng hard or Italian. Again, makes it less authentic but still very tasty. Despite these remarks, I haven't had a sandwich this good in the Richmond area before, so you should give it a try. And if it were Niche Produce, then they'd only sell unusual and hard to get hipster vegetables and sandwiches. Whereas if it wer Nix Produce, it would close down soon. And if it were Knickers Produce then I would have torn them down a lot more quickly and intensely than I did in this review.

Also, we didn't order it, but the lady behind us ordered the chicken katsu platter and holy cow, it was HUGE. You have to carry the plate with two hands, I am DEFINITELY getting it next time.
