Buy
Shop KP International Market (Korean super market)
Good place to shop for Korean and Russian groceries, Kim Chee etc. It has a small eating place also and good dishes. Some fresh produce is insanely inexpensive. Clean and friendly. Look for Russian sourdough near the cashiers. Mushroom varieties are many, fresh and dried, small and (very)large packs.
