I’ve been craving a walkable market in the borough since I moved to the Dub C, and on Saturday I experienced the phenomenon we call Carlino’s.
After a just-what-I-needed chicken sausage, apple, brie and spinach omelet from Market Street Grill, I walked the block and a half to the Carlino’s Grand Opening to check out what all the fuss was about. I had a full stomach but figured I could grab something small to snack on if it caught my eye. I was wrong… I bought nothing.
You will have to wait to hear more about the amazingness of this new market until our in-depth interview (coming soon).
What I will say is that I walked in and scents and sounds of tastiness attacked me from every direction. My heart raced as I walked past the massive selections of International cheeses, prepared dishes, Italian specialties, fresh produce, baked breads and patries. Laughter, cheese samples, “May I help yous,” “mmms” and “yummms”whirled around me. It was delicious craziness and I carefully tuned it out to focus on reading as many lables as I could on the prepared items, deli cases and products. I was so overwhelmed with delight I just had to take it all in and…walk out.
Something has never looked so good to me that I simply couldn’t bring myself to choose what to buy.
The Final Dish: I plan to eat there this week. I think the shock will have worn off by then.
