After leading us to the table, we were completely ignored for over 10 minutes. No matter how good the food is, that was not a good experience. We left and had a wonderful time at One – having dessert and a snack with lots of wonderful cocktails running a modest bill of around $300. I suspect the final tally would be the same at Bohmer’s but we were definitely treated better at One.

Thanks for the comment, Benj! We have heard there may be another grocery store going in right next to what used to be “Get Real Cafe,” so if anyone connected to that or to Boehmer cares to comment, please do. Our community is diverse, and we hope the variety of businesses will make efforts to meet its needs.

Not bottles of organic. Not bags of Sealtest. Bags of organic. (Organic eggs also good.)

Right now, the closest place to your spot to get bags of organic milk is the College Metro. Residents of “Gourmet Gulch” can’t actually get their grocery shopping done on foot. This irony is, of course, annoying. And, I hope you can understand, this creates some resentment toward the merchants.

Provide this service, and people might actually come in and buy your luxury vinegars. Otherwise: resentment.

You probably will lose money on the milk: the various under-capitalized variety stores around won’t carry it for this reason. But in your case, that’s not the point: think of the bags of organic milk as a loss-leader or enticement or good-will gesture.
