I was on the way to Whole Foods on Franklin to pick up two Amazon packages - and didn't want to pay twice the price for produce and cream or find they were out of basic herbs like dill. I swung in to 22nd and Irving. Metered parking out front was simple. Ultra fresh baby dill, mint and parsley, each priced at $1.49. Add almond milk and a quart of half 'n' half, I was on my way. Well-stocked, clean, friendly and convenient, I like this local store very much.

Growing up in San Francisco there is something I noticed which doesn't really get highlighted and…read moreis a collaboration between two different continents and many different cultures . Walking around in the Mission District and you would notice lots of small businesses which are grocery stores and markets will have food and drinks which are Latin American and Asian . Somehow these visible stores in the San Francisco neighborhoods are usually invisible to the media and that includes social media .The only time I see these foods are being celebrated is when they are separated at a Costco or at ethnic food aisles at an AI ( Albertsons Inc.) store such as a Safeway which will have these bottles and cans on the shelfs. Some restaurants in the city which serves fusion Latin and Asian dishes are getting their produce when they need to reload at these grocery stores . I ran into one on Clement street which was formerly known as El Chico Produce and it's now called Del Rio Produce. On a Clement street stroll I landed at a grocery store with international products and has Chinese products. Inside it felt like Deja Vu as I felt going back in time to my childhood in the Mission District shopping at a similar grocery store. You will find an aisle of international cheeses. You will find also are lots of ingredients to make Adobo chicken. You will also see ramen with Korean, Japanese and Mexican flavors. There are different types of berries and nuts available. This is the spot to embrace the international diversity of San Francisco through drink , foods, and produce . In the month of May it's AAPI month and Cinco de Mayo along with Carnival in San Francisco so plan a visit to Del Rio Produce ( Not in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil home of Carnival) on 23rd Avenue and Clement. This Supermarket reminds of the ones in SF that are mostly in the Excelsior and the "Mission" selling different Latin American and Asian products to make food dishes in the cultural "tradition "also offering organic fruits and vegetables to promote "nutrition" these international foods stores in the city should get more "recognition" In San Francisco Real estate prices stay steady or "soar" and if you don't live in the neighborhood you find about these places online with Yelp and "Nextdoor "some try to connect this food as part of some narrative and "folklore "but these ingredients are still being sold today and never forgotten at the city international "grocery store "

On a Friday stroll in San Francisco's Richmond District looking for something to drink, eat, and cook. I landed on Clement street again but this time at a specialty store. Inside you find aisles of ingredients to cook with and bottles of olive oil and specialty wines. They have the Don Juan's favorite Pinot Noir . You will also find wines like Syrah, Sherry and Rosé. They carry artisan pasta for Don Juan's tofu spaghetti ( made with Angel hair). This is the place to create the taste international flavors of different parts of the world.

In this village there are lots of shops and restaurants. One thing I did notice is this village had two grocery stores on the same block. One grocery store is over 70 years old and the other over 60 years old. One of these grocery stores has a neighborhood charm which feels a bit vintage. It's called Bryan's Grocery. The Laurel Village in Laurel Heights neighborhood in San Francisco has lots of new places but Bryan's Grocery is neighborhood classic and favorite to buy groceries and also to grab drinks. Inside you will see a meat market along with aisles of drinks and food. There is also fresh produce like fruits and vegetables. You will feel transported to the past of old San Francisco once you roam the store. A good place to shop if you are in Laurel Village. Go to Laurel Village for a "bite " and also pick up some food to bring at that holiday party "invite " this place only opens in the day and evening but not at "night" it's at the Laurel Village in neighborhood of "Laurel Height" It's a place which is worth "trying" which has some beef available and chicken available for "frying" and lots of good food worth "buying" at a grocery store called "Bryan"

I've been going to Bryan's since I moved to SF in1981 and lived near Laurel Village. It reminds me…read moreof smaller markets in NYC where I grew up. Not the gigantic supermarkets, if that's what you want. But if I want top produce, meats and fish, I still find that quality and customer service at places like Bryan's (and Cal-Mart), both in Laurel Village. It's not inexpensive but the quality of the fish and meats are the best you'll find. It's like what a Butcher Shop and the Fishmonger's Shop were a long time ago. Bryan's still has the best quality including the folks behind the counters will help you find what you want or if you want to try something new, and if you ask questions, they'll be happy to give you cooking tips if you want to do something differently or just to remind you what you knew before. If you want something specialized that they don't have because they don't sell enough X or Y, they'll generally have it special ordered for you within a day or two. The produce section with vegetables and fruit is also top quality. I might pay more but they last in the refrigerator twice the time that I buy at the larger supermarkets elsewhere. That is saving you money because it doesn't go bad as quickly as the produce you buy at supermarkets. I wish it wasn't so, but a lot of my testing has proven it year after year. Some of the people behind the counters have been there for many years and they're all friendly, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. They are very nice people and are well trained about what they sell you and making your shopping experience a pleasure. And when you cook it for your family and friends you know you are cooking like you would in Italy, France and other countries: always start with the best quality you can get and cook it simply to bring out the quality of the food. Since we all need to be smart about managing the cost of our shopping, you can get your other canned and boxed goods, etc., somewhere cheaper where you're getting the same things no matter where you go. If you are willing to go to two markets in that way, you'll get more bang for your money. It's a nicer way for me to shop for food. The ambiance (or vibe) is definitely worth shopping here.

As I finished walking around and approached the counter area about 2 minutes after entering the store, their German shepherd dog, that I had not noticed before, started barking furiously and lunged at me. Luckily, there was a -very short- barrier between me (a short woman) and the dog and the woman at the cash register eventually managed to grab his collar and restrain him. I do love dogs but that one is a public danger. I will not go back in there and I would recommend you not go in there with a young child who could startle the dog. Ditto if you have a weak heart. By the way, I had done nothing to startle the dog. Neither the woman nor a man who also works there said sorry. Pheww, that was scary.
