Anniversary Dinner and Shopping at Cross Street Market

Last night we had our anniversary dinner in Little Italy.  I had some veal that was pretty out of this world.  Little Italy couldn't be more complete of stereotypes.  We parked next to a Bocci Ball court.  The owner of Ciao Bella (where we ate) pulled up in his BMW looking quite Joe Francis, and the streets were lined with guys who look like Meredith Burgess sitting on benches, wearing fedoras, and chatting.
This afternoon I did something I haven't been able to do in quite some time.  I went to Target.  It was spectacular.  Then I got home and went grocery shopping at the market.  We don't really have a supermarket near, but we have a market that is super.  You can get anything you need that is fresh, meat, seafood, produce, flowers, baked goods, sweets, cell phones.  Oh and there is pharmacy too.  Mixed in the vendor stands are restaurants that claim the world's best wings, oyster bars, Chinese, sushi, and of course, steamed crabs and shrimp.  You can also get a brew which makes shopping seem all the cooler.  I didn't really pay more than a regular grocery store and it is about 8 blocks from the house, so an easy walk.
