To escape (and feed), I went walking in my neighborhood. There's loads o' restaurants and shops close by! Today I lunched at Jack's Shack (hot dogs & sausages, w/veggie & turkey options) which stays open everyday 'til 3am. Enjoyed the Chicago Dog, even though it's failure vis-a-vis the requisite bright blue-green relish and celery salt makes it not a proper one.

Damn I'm lucky/happy/thrilled to be here. Let the adventures commence/continue!

That Whole Foods sucks. It's tiny, has increadibly poor parking (worse than TJ's) and very little selection.

I definitely recommend TJ's and if you're feeling adventureous there's a Jon's market (ethinic Mexican/Armenian mostly) up by the Assylum on Magnolia. There's also a Vallarta (Mexican) right near my place. I have to say though, neither of these places have a whole lot in the way of natural/organics.

That and the lack of things within walking distance is a drawback to this neighborhood.

Yeah, the Whole Foods was walking distance from one of the schools where I did my student teaching so I dinna have to deal w/the craptacular parking.

Yeah, I always just stop at the one in Glendale when I'm back in the old 'hood.
