Grab your shopping cart and go inside. This is a large grocery store with about everything you want or need. The aisles are clearly marked with signage hanging from the ceiling.

The Bakery is just okay. I don't care for the bread choices and the in my opinion, many of the sweet breads are pasty. My biggest Criticism is the Prepared Food area. The foods in the case are generally brown and dried out on top. They are filled with preservatives and seem to sit, unattended for long periods of time. Again, this is my opinion. Fresh Market Prepared Foods can not compare with Giant Eagle Market District. I hope the powers that be at TFM consider this review!

Also, I could have just walked in and got my ham and 2 sides right from deli without having to stand in line for 45 minutes. Do better Fresh Market!

Inside it is a standard Aldi but they do have the Aldi finds (the aisle of shame!) which you cannot find at every Aldi. My experience with their produce and meats has been very good; I have bought their hamburgers several times and found them to be excellent in quality. Checkout is pretty quick; there are no self-scan registers in this store (that would be nice) but I have never waited in line more than a few minutes. Given its location, the excellent prices, and that aisle of shame, I will be here often.

Market Square is a public space in the downtown area with a variety of shops and restaurants…read moresurrounding it. It was recently renovated just in time for the NFL Draft to allow more accessibility and better space for events. In the public area, there are some tables and chairs to sit and enjoy the area. They also seem to plan to have a lot more semi-permenant attractions in the space. Currently their is a roller rink (which is surprisingly affordably priced) . It has historically been home to the Holiday Market (which was moved into the theater area this year because of the construction). I hope the market does move back because Market Square was definitely the better space for it. There is plenty of parking nearby in garages, surface lots and street parking. The one downside is that it is really tough to drive through, especially with the way the renovated it. Drivers seem to be stopping to take in the new look or don't understand directional signage so there is often traffic backups.

Another stop on our Strip District Food Tour! Labad's…read moremimics of gas station convenience store and an ethnic grocery store combined. Shelves are lined with canned goods, fresh ingredients stored in baskets to buy by the pound, and for some reason branded tourist soap bars. For the Food Tour, we were treated to the fresh hummus and pita. The hummus was very fresh - the owner even discussed how he made it over the last evening, but the pita was extremely dry and flavorless. He was clearly a true chef and creates amazing cuisines. So it is very disappointing that the store has to morph into a touristy shop. The hookah and culture items make sense somewhat, but the Harry Potter and Star Wars themed soap bars just seem like a gimmick that takes away from the true essence of the store. If you like hummus, you should definitely grab a container of the fresh made. But honestly, I doubt many people stop here based on the appearance.

As soon as I got home, I tried a small piece. Oh, my gosh!! I couldn't believe how much better it tastes than any other brand I have tried. What a wonderful flavor and texture! Just perfect. I highly recommend Labad's.
