I loved going to all of them. The cheese shop, in fact, would ask what kind of wine we were having and then recommend one or two excellent choices to be eaten today--and certainly no later than tomorrow. In Winthrop, outside Boston, three Greek brothers ran a butcher shop a block from our house. I would go in and say, "What am I having for dinner today?" I miss these things.
There is a remedy.
