People need to be able to "refresh" themselves.


A line for pierogies (piroshky in Russian)



This pastry cost $1.25 at the Latino Grocery. But the cost of the produce at vendor stands was pretty high. This store sold the El Yucateco hot sauces for $3. Sometimes you can find them for $1.25 in Latino groceries in DC--but certainly for less than $2.

But the displays were quite attractive, maybe not at the level of quality of La Boqueria in Barcelona... but still have you seen raspberries this pretty at a typical farmers market or supermarket?


Wayfinding information is very important in helping people to get around complicated places.

When you order fish, and the guy calls it back, the guys behind the counter repeat the order as a kind of song.
