My India, the nearest Indian grocery, was small but had nearly everything on my list of things I needed (all but one and it can easily be exchanged for Szechuan peppercorns). The owner was VERY helpful. An enormous collection of strange peas and lentils for 50 cents lb, probably 20 types of spices (2.99 per 1/4 lb), paneer, freezer samosas (some nights you don't want to make your own), 3 new veggies, strange bananas.
I can't wait to take Uncle Mark there.

There's a Brazilian market up the street that only serves feiojada on Saturdays at noon. We finally got over there, and it was really great. Very good. Not as spicy as Cafe Brazil, but good.

Shove that in your rice cooker.

Oh, man, I've been wanting to go to My India for a while, just to suss things out. I don't actually need anything from there, though that's hardly the point.

It's not very impressive when you first walk in, but then you start looking at all the stuff you've never even heard of.... Not much produce (except for the hard-to-find curry leaves), but TONS of strange spices.
You need a 12lb brick of frozen paneer.

Awesomeness.
