There really aren't any traditional grocery stores within the neighborhood, but there is a tops and wegmans not far north of it, maybe a mile or two. They're both on, or not far off, the 20 bus line ( ... )

Thank you soo much! :)

The cab thing sounds like it will be very do-able. It's just going to be me, a kitty, and the boyfriend every now and again.

Another question - are there any ethnic groceries in the area? Asian/Latino/Indian? Or am I going to have to resign myself to Toronto to find specialty stuff?

There are definitely some Latino places on the West Side. Italian on the West Side and North Buffalo. Middle eastern/Halal here and there throughout the city. There may be an Asian place on the west side, the Vietnamese population there isn't insignificant, but I don't know of any offhand. Maybe by UB somewhere, too, since there's a substantial number of foreign students from Asia studying there. I don't know of any Indian place in the city, but there are some in the burbs. There was one near Sheridan and Eggert I think.

I'm sure there are asian markets along Elmwood or on the west side.

Wegmans, again. Or Tops International for a lot of stuff you might find in an ethnic grocery.. otherwise there are a few Indian ones scattered around.

There's a large Asian grocery on Sheridan and a good sized Indian market across the street from there. There's another Indian market east of there too. That's going to be a bus trip, though, but the stores are good. Wegman's has a decent international section but the ethnic stores are cheaper.

There are Asian grocery stores all over buffalo-- unfortunately nothing as exciting as you'd find in Flushing or Chinatown. There is one on the 20 line in Kenmore called t&ts. There is also an Asian store (Ni Hoowa) and an Indian grocery store on Sheridan drive. There is also an African market somewhere, too and several halal Arabic grocery stores near Hertle ave. You should talk to Potter, he knows where all the hole-in-the-wall ethnic stores are:
