Garces Trading Company
Grocery Market & Catering
Sometimes we just get a craving for Indian or Mexican food—and that’s when we run to this 13th Street to-go spot for either the Lolita hot bar (Monday through Friday) or Bindi prepackaged dishes. We don’t skimp on the homemade baked treats, either. 101 S. 13th St.; grocery13.com
Green Aisle Grocery
Score the best of locally and nationally renowned foodstuffs—including cookies from New York City’s dessert dynasty Momofuku Milk Bar (Green Aisle is Momo’s only retail hookup outside of NYC!) and mouthwatering ragus, antipasti and salami from Le Virtù’s Joe Cicala and Massimo Conocchioli—at this South Philly jewel-box grocery. 1618 E. Passyunk Ave.; greenaislegrocery.com
Pumpkin Market
Produce, dairy and pantry staples from this restaurant-side market could be from your backyard, or not too far from it—artisanal linguini from South Jersey’s Severino Pasta Company and Seven Stars Farm yogurt from Phoenixville are just a couple of the local goodies this South Street larder stocks. 1610 South St.; pumpkinphilly.com
Garces Trading Company
The European-inspired market, bakery and flower shop offers a grand selection of chef Jose Garces’ private-label olive oils, vinegars, specialty coffee and, perhaps most notably, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board’s first wine boutique, moving the state toward a wider availability of the fruit of the vine. 1111 Locust St.; garcestradingco.com
