The only pro about this location, to me, is most times if the Union store doesn't have something,…read moremost likely West Orange does. That was the case during my most recent visit. Thankfully the Total Wine app saved the day, so it was not a wasted trip because I already knew what I was looking for was in stock. That aside, no matter how sporadic it is, whenever I go here it is extremely difficult to find an associate for help or questions, there's almost always only one register open for checkout, and these things just dampen the experience for me every time. Pro-tip, they share a big parking lot with other stores, restaurants, and ShopRite so be cautious as you maneuver through it. It's not unlikely for drivers to act as if it's a random Nascar racetrack.

I've never been to this Total Wine before, and it honestly felt like heaven for anyone who enjoys a good drink. Anything you want, they have it. I wandered around for a bit (the selection is that good) and finally asked for assistance. The associate was super helpful and directed me right to it. Checkout was quick and easy, and I learned they have a rewards program you can sign up for using your phone number. This location is conveniently tucked inside the Essex Green Shopping Plaza, right across from ShopRite. Whether you're looking for wine, rum, or anything in between, I'm pretty sure they have it here.

Through the entire process Gary was not only helpful in regards to creating a tasting that would mesh well with our firm, but also in giving me recommendations on food, desserts, where to purchase and making sure I had a checklist of every item I should have at the event. This was my first time handling a solo event where there was no event staff to help and when Gary and Junko arrived they dove right in not only setting themselves up but also helping me get everything right. The event was a huge success and the firms partners and guests alike were all enthralled with the wines chosen, vast knowledge and extremely charismatic character of Gary and Junko. I couldn't have been happier with the entire process leading up to the event and actual execution. I highly recommend their services and will definitely be using them for future tastings. Thank you Gary and Junko!

Tried out the San Francisco Mission food tour with two of my colleagues on a Saturday morning…read more There were also five other people on the tour along with our guide. We ended up eating at five locations with a break in between. The meeting point - Mission Playground: felt kind of in the middle of nowhere since we weren't actually informed of the places we were eating at beforehand. Still fairly convenient as it was about four blocks from the nearest BART station. Our guide briefed us about a little history of the Mission and encouraged us to take photos of the tour; the best photographer would get a sixth bonus tasting. Stop 1 - Craftsman and Wolves: a very busy place so there was no seating for our group, but we ended up at one of those nearby hipster parklets. We were each given a Rebel Within: a savory muffin with a soft boiled egg inside and Tabasco salt on the side. Very tasty and hearty enough to almost fill up some people. Stop 2 - Ali Baba's Cave: it was a fairly hot and sunny day, but before going inside the restaurant we got a lecture about the history of falafel while standing in the heat; very informative, but it could have waited until the group was seated. I've been to Ali Baba's before and knew the food was good, but had never tried the falafel sandwich. We ended up getting three of them, which we split into thirds. The sandwich as a whole was very fresh and savory, but the sauces and eggplant ended up masking much of the falafel's flavor. What really made this stop nice was lots of seating, allowing the group to introduce each other and get to know each other. Stop 3 - Taqueria Cancun: also a fairly packed place, but we were able to bus two tables as a few other groups left. We had a selection of three tacos: beef tongue, al pastor, or super veggie. It was also the only stop where you could buy beer separately from the tour's initial price. I picked a beef taco and declined drinking. Relatively mild and satisfactory taco, which actually worked well as a palette cleanser after the very robust falafel. Like the previous stop, this place stood out as it allowed the group to relax and chat while enjoying some good food. Break - The Women's Building: we got a bit of history of the building itself and what it was previously used for. The mural on the side of the building was quite exquisite, though trying to view it from top to bottom meant staring directly into the hot sun. There was also an implication that we'd actually see the interior of the building, but we headed off to more stops. Stop 4 - Pizzeria Delfina: another busy place too crowded for our group, so we waited on the sidewalk. We shared a fresh Margherita pizza. The cheese was amazing and we learned that it was made that day over in Berkeley. The staff at Delfina was giving us some strange looks as we hung out on the curb and discussed their cuisine. Stop 5 - Tartine: one of the most infamous bakeries in San Francisco, which meant there was a long line out the door. We once again waited out on the curb. We ended up trying the salted chocolate rye cookie, which was more or less a high quality brownie. A good way to wrap up the meal. We compared photos we had taken and the guide picked a winner who got free Bi-Rite ice cream around the corner. Overall a good tour with great people. I'd prefer in the future they choose more welcoming places like Ali Baba and Cancun over cramped shops with high quality food. Still, I'd highly recommend trying the tour with a few people you already know well.

This tour exceeded my expectations. It was so fun to see the staples from my childhood - my memories exploded! Elaine was our fun tour guide. She knew her history and brought us to many different alleyways and eateries. SF Chinatown is known for alleys, she'll explain. =D All eateries were different and distinguished from their own regions. My favorite stops - fortune cookie shop and Tin How Temple.

I'll be honest, the location isn't exactly ideal. The area is sketchy, and the place itself is…read moredefinitely a hole-in-the-wall. My advice? Go in, get your food, and head out. When you walk in, grab a number from the right-hand side. They'll call your number when it's time to order, and once your food is ready, you'll head to the register on the left to pay. Now, about the food. This place is part deli, part liquor store, part dessert shop, and somehow they also give away random fresh bread. I know that sounds like a lot, but stick with me. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and every sandwich I've had there has been delicious. My personal favorite is the pastrami on rye with coleslaw and Russian dressing, served warm. The pastrami is tender and flavorful, the rye bread is fresh, and the combination of the creamy coleslaw and tangy Russian dressing takes it to another level. It's one of those sandwiches that has you thinking about it long after you've finished eating. The portions are huge & you can easily split one sandwich into two meals or share it with someone else. While the prices are a little higher than what you'd expect from a deli, the quality and portion sizes make it worth every penny. They accept cash and all major credit cards. They also cater & sell sandwich platters, so keep that in mind!! If you're looking for atmosphere, this probably isn't the place. If you're looking for an outstanding sandwich, it absolutely is!!
