"I found out that I was accepted the day - the literal day after George Floyd was murdered - and this thing that I was so excited about, I instantly stopped caring about it. In the back of my mind, I was just like, 'We need Black-owned grocery stores.'"

Fresha, born Frescia Belmar, is nominally a jazz bassist, but her artistry transcends the form, moving effortlessly between jazz, rock, fusion, and R&B.

'We wanted to keep things relatively neutral, using earth tones, wood, live plants, and tile to bring forward colors and textures found in nature,' Atmos Coffee Founder Zach Burkhart said.

Portillo's has been serving Vienna Beef hot dogs since opening in 1963, starting from a trailer in Villa Park, Illinois, and later moving to a brick-and-mortar restaurant in 1967.

The petite filet mignon, cooked medium-well, was as tender as it was well-seasoned, melting in my mouth with each bite. Sprinkled with Bavette's steak salt, this steak was the headliner of the meal.

Bodegas are one of New York City's oldest and largest neighborhood institutions, with more than 10,000 spread across the city's five boroughs.

"These are solid sandwiches, which help to define 60 plus years of a successful business," noted a customer on Yelp.

The vintage market in Lafayette features a curated lineup of the Bay Area's top vintage dealers, popping up across multiple parking lots on both sides of a full block.

Pomona's Lincoln Park neighborhood offers buyers seeking classic vintage homes an affordable alternative for early 20th century Craftsman homes, California bungalows and Prairie, Tudor and Colonial Revival styles, as well as a healthy mix of Spanish and Victorian houses. The Lincoln Park enclave, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, is home to about 900 of Pomona's more than 2,700 buildings of historic significance.

Lou Mitchell's opened its doors way back in 1923, and there's a reason that this is still one of the best old-school diners in the U.S. Customers are greeted by friendly staff handing out donut holes and Milk Duds as a way to welcome you to this home away from home, and in the kitchen? Locally-sourced eggs are turned into omelets on order, all the juices are freshly-squeezed, and even the bread and the orange marmalade is made in-house.

Everyone knows what a sandwich is and what they're getting for the most part. If we can execute them with higher-quality ingredients and better techniques throughout the process, then I think it's something we can really shine with.

"In 2022 and half of 2023, we would do like $40,000 to $60,000 [in sales] a month out of one little stall," says Jamra, whose restaurant, Evette's, was named one of the New York Times' 50 Best Restaurants in the U.S. in 2022. "It was extremely profitable," Jamra tells Eater. "We were making all kinds of money. We had lines every day, every vendor did. Back then, it was a who's who of the Chicago restaurant industry."

Polymarket, the cryptocurrency-based prediction market, announced on Tuesday it would be opening New York City's first free grocery store, seemingly a nod to the mayor's signature policy. In a statement the firm said it hoped to empower every New Yorker to achieve food security for good, and that it had donated $1m to the Food Bank for NYC. The eponymous Polymarket store, however, will apparently only run as a temporary pop-up, and despite supposedly opening on 12 February its location has yet to be announced.

Chef Tiana has an amazing personality and she is doing something very similar to what I'm doing at Maydan. I preserve my culture through food and try to explain the Middle East to people through feeding them, and she does the same thing. One of her parents is Black and one is Filipino and she represents Southern food culture with Filipino food,

When the gin and tonic glasses are drained, and the crab tostada and chimichurri-dressed steak plates are cleared from the table, customers can snake through the kitchen and descend candlelit stairs to an entirely different experience: Laberinto, an underground speakeasy. The theme at Laberinto, which means labyrinth in Spanish, is escapism - a micro vacation after the meal has ended where guests chat, flip through vinyl records, and sip Mexican spirits and liqueurs layered with notes of oregano, sage, and palo santo.

To Ian Gonzalez, though, it was a testament to three years of hard work. A community built from the ground up. The crowd had come on a cool Sunday morningto celebrate Gonzalez's business - Last Lap Cornerstore - before its temporary closure in April 2023. "It was the saddest joy I've ever felt," Gonzalez said. "For the community to come out and say they see me and show the love, that was beautiful."
