    I'm coming into town for work next week and I was looking for a good bottle shop where I can pick up some stuff not available in IL. I'm staying downtown, near City Hall.

    Also the fooderies all have some slight variation in stock (like 3 or 4 beers one will have and the other won't and vice versa, but generally good stuff) at least in my experience between the rittenhouse and center city locations. The center city location is by far the most expensive, the foodery in ritternhouse has been making an effort to lower their prices, so instead of outrageous they are just silly now. The most expensive IMO has to be newbold brew, they have some gems too but you are going to pay for them dearly. Great cup of coffee at brew as well.

    Corner Foodery was my favorite, but pricey. Food and Friends had a good selection too.

    Yeah the "corner" foodery is now actively being changed to the foodery @ rittenhouse, I think they are trying to consolidate them all. But they really have made things cheaper, I've bought items multiple times that were cheaper the next time I bought it.

    Food and Friends is also great, but some things can be pricey, definitely a solid 30 percent mark up. (which is standard i suppose)

    Agreed about their prices, but it's a short train ride and walk from the city center.

    It isn't too bad at the current temp, during the summer it was a brutal trip. The prices are great here and they have a smalerl, but very good selection.
