Place to check out:

Grocery (101-105 S. 13th St.) – Best place to grab lunch on the go in town. Known for their salad bar (which stocks all sorts of pasta salads, sushi and grilled and glazed tofus), Grocery also offers sandwiches, soups, coffee, organic chocolate bars and pastries. I’d recommend the Falafel, Hummus and Feta wrap. The shop is a bit pricy, but the food they sell is mostly vegetarian, with plenty of tasty vegan options and lots of gluten-free and low-fat and -carb items, too.
