Whole Foods
214 3rd Street – Google Maps says: 8 min walk
Of course you can get your groceries and things here, but you can also stop by the hot and cold food bar to prepare a to-go box of your liking. Members like this option because the food bar lists allergies and ingredients above each dish, there’s a variety of options to choose from, plenty of indoor/outdoor seating upstairs, and it gives you the opportunity to take a nice walk.
