When I moved to the Downtown-Echo Park area last spring I was thrilled about everything *except* for the fact that I was moving far away from my local Nature Mart and Trader Joes– the two places that I did my grocery shopping. I had to explore around my new ‘hood to find decent places to buy my groceries. The one place that I discovered and fell immediately in love with is my local Asian supermarket– charmingly named “Grocery Warehouse.” They have great and ‘exotic’ produce– everything from sugar-cane juice to lychees, and amazing tea selection and all kinds of very pretty and well priced items for the home. I mean, how sweet are those pink pots? It’s also where I bought the cutting board from Monday’s post. Every time I go in there I’m transported to a foreign land and I get to come home with all kinds of rad souvenirs.
These are some great items. Definitely worthy of Holiday buying.

Always on the lookout with that creative and design eye. Looks like a local grocery store near my house.
Thanks for the post! I will definitely have to check out this place.
Aren’t Asian markets great?! I love looking for treasures in seemingly “unlikely” places. It’s a great way to find inexpensive, unique-type trinkets and rep my culture all at the same time.
I work in Echo Park ( but don’t live there) and since I’m stuck inside the office all day and then want to jet out of there to get home, I have the problem of not having the chance to explore around there. SO this is perfect because now maybe I can make it a point to visit on my lunch break! Where is it exactly?
