Walk down Main Street and you\’ll find an international corner market teeming with ethnic delights. Ring the doorbell on the house next door and you\’ll find yourself invited into a cozy Jewish home — family pictures and menorah on the shelves; Shabbat candles and a tzedakah box atop the dresser. Further down the block is Bubbe\’s Bookstore, filled with children\’s books and a puppet theater. For spiritual nourishment, there\’s the synagogue down the block. And if you\’re hungry for nourishment of a more literal kind, across the street stands the Blue Bagel Cafe, where you can chow down some lunch — falafel, pizza, even some sushi. Or, hey, take it to go and picnic underneath the giant oak tree down the street.
