I have eaten at the Pink Door and Lowell's but was wondering if there was somewhere we could pick up some food for a picnic in the park. Does the cheese shop have meat? Does the little Italian shop that had the great garlic bread still around?

Add a can of San Pellegrino Lemonade and you've got a picnic lunch you can take out or eat in. Add a pain du chocolat or croissant or other fresh-baked pastry and the joys of dessert are yours as well. Tue Aug 09 14:24:06 -0700 2005 35428 0 bbqer
