Di Bruno Brothers
This place is the only supermarket where I would take a date. Of course, it’s also worth going there stag. Eating samples alone, it is possible to enter hungry and exit humming without opening your wallet. If you’re looking to buy, DiBruno’s charges, but it doesn’t soak you—you do get what you pay for. I was going to a potluck where I knew I’d have little time to prepare, so I went mad buying cheese and made a DIY cheese tray. The party loved it, and didn’t mind that the crackers were from Trader Joe’s and the tray and cheese cutter from a dollar store. If I went to DiBruno’s with a date, I’d let them decide among the breads, crackers, baked goods, cheese, tapenades, meats (or meat substitutes), and so on, to load up my picnic basket. Of course, the fact that I think a picnic is a fun thing to do with a date might be connected to my paucity of dates....
