I'm in love with this place but must restrain myself or else I'll end up weighing a jillion pounds. First of all, they have a zillion samples, so you don't have to stress out wondering which of their delectable delights you ought to try. They don't seem to mind if you try a lot. In fact, the service is just incredible. They're patient and will answer all your questions. One time I was really debating a couple of items, and they just gave me one of them free so I wouldn't have to make a decision (I was buying a lot of stuff to give to other people). Everything is delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. They have soup, coffee, some little sandwiches, and some candies and chocolates and other little things imported from Scandinavia. The place is tiny as is the parking area, but it's worth the hassle. GREAT!!

Russo’s is one of the best places in town to get fruits and veggies, as well as fresh cheeses, breads, and olives. It is a HUGE warehouse of produce, and full of things from every corner of the globe. Have you been searching for bitter melon or yucca? You can find them here! Their olive selection is phenomenal and they have a vast array of other goodies.
The produce is incredibly fresh and really very inexpensive. Red peppers are occasionally on sale for less than half what you’d spend a chain store.
While it is somewhat of a long drive from where I live, it is worth the trek every time. They have some really hard to find items and always have helpful and knowledgeable staff.

The New Ginza is a dleightful experience. The location is probably what keeps it from being more crowded, because the food is delicious and the decor is attractive. The Bento Box is really enough for two, starting with delicious miso soup, and including rice, tempura shrimp, pickled vegetables, and sushi, among other delectable bits. The menu is surprisingly large, but don't be dismayed. Sip green tea, and plan to come back. Parking can be a little difficult.

My experience with having repairs done at car dealerships has been just short of thievery. I own a SAAB, and I'm not your typical SAAB owner. I bought my car used and I don't have a lot of money. A lot of auto shops won't work on the car because of it's make, and moreso, you can't trust a lot of places to work on your car without ruining it. So, you're stuck with top notch dealership prices. Charles River Saab is contrary to that. I went in with a strange humming sound from my engine, and the next day I got a call telling me it was just the wiper motor for my headlights (which I don't think ever worked since I bought the car). They even took it for a test drive and assessed some of the other problem areas that I was concerned about. The next day I went in to pay for it all, and I was only charged with a half hour of labor. Their hourly rate is $120 an hour, so getting in and out of a dealership with an unwarrantied vehicle for $60 felt like a gift. I'll go back to these guys, they're people I can trust.

This is a great and friendly bank! If you're a senior citizen, they have all kinds of fee free services (and they have a 50+ club with monthly outings -- really great events at reasonable prices). The branch manager (and past branch managers) have been incredibly helpful and friendly -- they really go out of their way to help you. They recognize you and always say hello when you're in the branch. They are open late on Friday evenings and are open a few hours on Saturday mornings, so this is great. The bank is community oriented and even gives an annual award to a local nonprofit. The tellers are always friendly and helpful. This is a great bank! Member of the SUM network.

Inner Strength is an amazing place. They offer a number of yoga classes per day--it is vinyasa style yoga with a number of other influences, including Anusara technique. It is an incredible workout, but it is not your typical hot Power Yoga.
They also offer acupuncture, massage, and personal training. I have had acupuncture and shiatsu services, and have been amazed with the results. Their practitioners are very knowledgeable and professional. You walk out of a treatment feeling absolutely alive and energized.

Whenever I'm at the Town Diner I wonder why I don't come more often. The design inside is comforting in that super-dinery way we so seldom see here, the menu is huge and accommodating of all tastes, and you really can get breakfast all day. Not just eggs and toast, either - you can get blue corn waffles and vegetarian sausage if that's your thing. While the chefs play with international spices here and there you can still knock back a little meatlof plate and get that hit of home. Crowded at brunch on weekends, but it moves pretty fast.

Fendi Nails is the only place I go to for manicures and pedicures. I can always get an appointment, even for a fill, or just drop in; the staff are wonderful and their prices are very reasonable. I have sent several friends there and they have become regulars.
