If you’re anything like us, the food a destination promises is a major factor in deciding whether to go, be it gumbo in New Orleans or lobster in Maine. Strolling around town, it’s fun to pop into the local specialty store for discovery about the region, gifts for friends (or ourselves!) and sheer curiosity. LTBB has included some info on a few stores we love to visit and hope to build the list as we grow. In the meantime, feel free to leave a comment about your favorite store to tip off friends who may live in your area. Happy shopping!
