| Btw, I just looked at your "neighborhood" link... you are so close to Chinatown, it's not even funny.  Walk those 3-4 blocks to Jackson St. and check out how many fresh grocers are located within a few hundred yards of each other (my personal favorite is Viet Wah, just east of the I-5 bridge over Jackson: 1032 S. Jackson St.  And the store Uwajimaya is also a local favorite, and has even more variety: 600 5th Ave S).  And no, if you're worried about it being all Asian food, that's not the case.  Spend a weekend afternoon exploring the area... I think you'll be surprised.
 And I repeat... PIKE PLACE MARKET!!  If you're close enough to walk to Columbia Tower, you're close enough to walk to the Market (or to take a bus, or trolley, or what have you).
