The daily grind. Now, when it comes to something a little less exciting and a little more mundane, like grocery shopping,Whole Foods Marketis for sure mygo-toplace for choice-item groceries like free-range (happy animals) meat selections, bulk foods, organic dairy, and creulty-free bath products &cosmetics. Although certain items may be a little pricey, the quality is excellent and you wont be disappointed. Plus items like these are hard to come by and you know the old saying, you get what you pay for Well in this case, its certainly true. My favorite thing about going to Whole Foods in the early spring is they always have the best selection in seasonal produce. It’s so much fun to run to the store for fresh spring produce.

Now back to the fun stuff. WhetherIm taking a client out for lunch or meeting a close friend for dinner, one of my favorite spots (most definitely) isDean &DeLucaWineRoomatPhillips PlaceinSouthPark. With easy access and great parking, D&D is located just down Fairview Road fromWhole Foods. Featuring gourmet wines from around the world, D&D serves up scrumptious appetizers and entrees to go with that special bottle. If youre in more of a glass mood, then thats an option too! Sample their variety of wines, glass after glass. You’re sure to pop that perfect light, crisp & refreshing spring bottle of vino at this place!

Speaking of delicious food, one of SouthParks hidden gems isPortifinosItalian Restaurant.
