If you're walking on Antique Row and blink when you reach 10th Street, you just might miss the little nondescript convenience store on the corner. You really don't want to do that -- Foodery boasts over 500 kinds of beer from all over the world. Seems that the store should actually be called "Drinkery," but that's neither here nor there.

Sunday brunch can be a tricky thing. The motivation to hail a cab and go downtown to indulge in real food at one of the many area brunch venues is limited on a lazy weekend morning. A trip to Jones, Stephen Starr's retro diner, is well worth the effort and cab fare.

If you thought the only way to get authentic gelato was toiling away over a University of Bologna study abroad application, you're in for a treat. Since December, Stephanie and John Reitano have been scooping up gelato with the capacity to satisfy any Italiano's craving and simultaneously shame the likes of Chunky Monkey and Cherry Garcia.
A day behind the scenes at Capogiro begins with Stephanie's 5:30 a.m. arrival. For the next several hours, she'll toil away preparing the freshest and finest ingredients she and her husband can find to create gelato -- an Italian staple, something like ice-cream, which she spent months learning how to make in Italy.

Chef Joseph Moorhead is a picky eater. He's not a fan of salmon mousse, and he doesn't like onions cluttering his food. He says he wouldn't work well in a savory kitchen -- so it seems fitting that he instead spends long hours in his heavenly pastry studio, Petit 4, where his passion for sweets takes on a Zen-like artistry.
Two and a half years ago, Moorhead opened his bakery in a quiet corner of Old City. Uncompromising with flavor, he uses only the finest ingredients in his creations. Moorhead likes Indonesian vanilla beans, organic flour, butter and heavy cream, because they are the absolute best when it comes to fine pastry.
