A Day Trip to Greensboro

  1. Stop by Trader Joe’s for cheaper pre-packaged meals and snacks than Kroger. My favorite is the Vegan Spinach & Cashew Ravioli, which is $4 per package.
  2. Grab lunch at Ghassan’s or any of the variety of local, immigrant or minority-owned businesses.
  3. Whole Foods’ bakery has desserts and seasonal fruit like a vegan carrot cake cupcake and an extra large Keitt mango, the best variety.
  4. If American desserts are too sweet for you, Dong Phuong Oriental Market has plenty of Vietnamese classics.
  5. Pick up banh mi for the trip home across the street at Banh Mi Saigon Sandwiches & Bakery. They recently added a vegetarian beef and vegetarian chicken banh mi to their mayo. Hold the mayo for a vegan sandwich.
  6. Thirsty? Tea Lala Che & Boba is right next door.
  7. Finish grocery shopping at Super G, where you can find more traditional Tawianese-style bubble tea at Gongcha inside.
