Super Market

A grocery store for the foodie in you

he South End, home of some of Boston’s best young restaurants, is the perfect setting for Foodie’s Market, a specialty grocery stocked with such high-quality ingredients as artisan breads from local bakeries, local organic produce, local gourmet cheeses, and obscure meats including venison, duck, and goose. The secret? You don’t even have to cook it yourself. Foodie’s deli makes overstuffed sandwiches and fresh salads, soups, and prepared meals. In addition to its quality fresh items, Foodie’s Market stocks supermarket standards in a surprising variety, considering its size—8,500 square feet, compared to the average American supermarket size of 44,000 square feet.

Shhhh! There’s also a location in Duxbury.

Shhhh! Foodie’s carries breads from Clear Flour Bakery, Pain D'Avignon, Jessica's Brick Oven, and Quinzani; sweets from Brent's of Milton; and gourmet items from Lark's Fine Foods of Gloucester.

Shhh who knew

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross, across the street from Foodie's Market, is the mother church of the Archdiocese of Boston and the largest church in New England, opened in 1875 by the emerging Catholic population to dwarf the WASP mainstays of the Old South and Trinity churches. It was meant to be even bigger, but a planned western spire was never built.
