The Lebanese market serves a large middle eastern community and used to be within walking distance of where I worked but 8 miles is not a long ride and no-body has better produce prices, there are two butchers close by and a middle eastern bakery that serves excellent baclava and eastern pastries.
I live in a food wonderland that many suburbanites cannot even imagine exists.
