The farm fresh milk, butter, eggs and ice cream are all amazing (from trickling springs creamery). Their bread is baked fresh each AM by the same baker who delivers to the french embassy. It would be a mistake to consider this a corner market - it is definitely more of a wine/specialty shop. Home cooks and foodies can find a number of delightful items tucked into the small space. That being said, it is pricey. If you choose to spend more on quality ingredients, then this is a place to find them. You can also find some items that are hard to find in bigger grocery stores - specifically ethnic ingredients. This isn't the place to pick up Jiffy, though sometimes you might. Pablo and Chase are amazing. They really know their customers and their products and are always happy to share information about the source of the goods, the vendors, etc. So shop as your budget and taste buds allow and this can be a delightful addition to your grocery line up.

They are super nice and always remember us and let me tell you guys: the egg nog they carry there - it's amazing. So is this raspberry cheesecake ice cream. Addicting! They have great coffee and pastries so it's a nice Sunday morning stop on the way to the market.

Most of them said, "we only looked for houses with Gary" and "only looked on the Hill." I would describe the parties at their homes as pretty monochromatic. the Capitol Hill people seem to look down on other people and to act cliquey.

The only real difference in the "demographic" is that those in CH or Petworth seem to have a superiority complex because they live in less safe neighborhoods. Or, am I missing something? bogfrog -

I felt it pretty strongly when dating a guy from the Hill and meeting all his friends and neighbors. Now I realize that the friends I have made in CH or Petworth are a different animal. I definitely feel more in common with CH and Petworth residents. About P&C market and its demographic –

I just haven't gotten around to poking my head in.

But, I love having easy access to Polyface Farms meat and the great selection of wines and cheeses the guys keep in stock. For my more traditional corner market needs, I walk down to the one on 5th and E. Capitol. It's a little bit farther away, but it's almost like a mini-grocery.
