Fontinella Cheese?

Does anyone know if there's a place to get Fontinella Cheese in Manhattan? I know I can get it out in Queens, but I haven't found it in the city yet. Any thoughts?

(Just to be clear, I actually do mean FontinELLA, the sharp, Asiago-like cheese, not the milder Fontina, which I see all over the place.)

New to LA from NY - Looking for a Union Square Greenmarket Replacement

Thanks for the help everyone! I checked out the Hollywood Market this morning and was NOT disappointed. I still argue that it's not Union Square (at least in summer months, you've got me with the winter lack of produce) but I got some great produce at very reasonable prices. I really appreciate the recommendation!!

Need Westside suggestions for bday dinner with baby--Italian Preferred

C&O Trattoria (the one right at the end of Washington, not C&O Cucina further north) is pretty good. Might be a little more on the casual side, however. Definitely reasonably priced.

Ume Plum vinegar -- where to buy in LA?

I've seen it at a bunch of different whole foods locations in the Macrobiotic section.

New to LA from NY - Looking for a Union Square Greenmarket Replacement

Hi Everyone!

I just moved out to LA from NYC, where I was a freakish devotee of the Union Square Greenmarket on weekends. The produce is just amazing, and I was always able to find new veggies/herbs/etc. that I had never tried and was able to experiment with.

I was really excited about the farmer's markets out here, but I went to the Santa Monica Farmer's Market this past Sunday and was INCREDIBLY disappointed with the quality and selection of the produce.

Anyone have suggestions as to where I can find great, different produce on the weekends? Somewhere on the west side would be the easiest.

Thanks so much!!!
