Farmer's Markets for the win of course. Next in line would have to be the Strip District in Pittsburgh. We used to go there every Saturday when we lived there. But for day to day shopping?

I feel sorry for people who are not familiar with the name Wegmans. We had one open by our house over a year ago. I have never, ever seen anything like it and can still easily spend hours just wondering around the store. There are no pictures I found online that do justice. It has the highest of the high end specialty products and yet still manages to be the most inexpensive shopping in the area. Those that have been to one know what I am talking about though.

I wish I still lived near a Wegman's. They're all over upstate NY and I seriously do not understand why they haven't expanded to us downstate types. If Wegman's ever came down here, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's would go out of business!

It was wonderful having a Wegman's nearby when I lived in UpstateNY. Their essential message seems to be that you can afford to enjoy food, instead of simply gathering cheap corn calories. The strongest memory I have of the store is having an employee tell me I could peel and eat an orange right there in the store. No really, go ahead!

WA has a contender--Top--but it lacks several things, like thick Udon noodles, an expansive deli meat counter, etc. And I would never give up my TJ's. It more than justifies its own stop.
