As a Foodie, I was in heaven!!!This is truly an enormous international market, with fresh produce, canned and dry goods from all over the world, fresh bakery, fresh meat, seafood and cheese from every where! Fresh flowers. An elegant Fresh and fancy dessert aisle. A spice shelf as long as an ordinary grocery aisle - floor to almost ceiling, fresh dried herbs and spices at prices so low you look twice! (Example. large bag of bay leaves for 67 cents) Everything from allspice to zatar! There's a wine section, fresh made pasta of all shapes and sizes! Did I mention the fresh coffees? And an array of cooks tools...But - the crowning jewel is the self serve restaurant - a buffet line really - with hot and cold selections that will amaze you! Homemade soups, international vegetables such as spicy Chinese eggplant, miscellaneous meat, an entire aisle of cold international salad like tabouli, then several kinds of fresh made Indian Samosas, pizza, fried chicken...A dizzying array of food delights! It's wise to get it in a takeout container as you will inevitably get tooooo much and not be able to eat it all. This is a destination NOT to be missed!

I've been to a lot of microbreweries, and Three Taverns has to be my favorite. They have very innovative flavors, and if they say it's in the beer, you can taste it--e.g., Cream Weaver (creamsicle), Lord Fog (Earl Gray with lavender, vanilla, and cream), a key lime pie sour, a rice lager with Jasmine tea, Midnight Snack (coffee milk stout with chocolate, cherry, and hazelnut), etc. The beers are amazing! They often have food trucks on the weekends and sometimes live music. The brewery is a really comfortable spot to meet friends too.
