“Very nice store. People were very helpful and selection was very good. My only complaint are the prices. Take expensive then add extra to make some products outlandish. A plastic Christmas ball with decorative stickers was $24. Otherwise I liked the unusual products and gift shop items. I picked up a few gifts.”

“Ive been a wine guide for 6 1/2 years and it has changed my life for the better in so many ways. I made a complete career change, as a single mother, and am much more fulfilled than I ever was before. I have the freedom and flexibility that I always dreamed of, and have made so many friends along the way. We have such a supportive tribe and we have so much fun together. The wine is top notch and so is the experience that we provide to our customers and hosts they keep coming back for more, which keeps this business sustainable and fun for us.”

“Stay away from Railroad Ave. and Seabreeze, same owners; come here instead! They appreciate the value of paying customers. Very nice customer service. See below my review of Railroad if wondering:My wife and I came here to cash a few scratch tickets and get some wine. The clerk had a beard, scally cap, and glasses. As we approach, I ask if they're planning on stocking a type of beer their other store carries.He says, "I honestly have no idea dude. We're lucky to have what we have." His tone cynical, implied more so that I should feel lucky to be able to purchase anything, let alone have special requests. This attitude was an albeit weird but harmless display of unmerited passive-aggressiveness.He rings us up and scans the tickets. We both observe the $12 winnings visually displayed. We ask for the winnings in $1 tickets. We turn to walk away and quickly realize there's only three. We tell him. He says, "I don't know what to tell you. The machine said $3."My wife says, "The tickets show $12, and the machine displayed $12." He says, "Nope."In other words, we're lying, an odd accusation considering the proof is in front of him.We ask to see the tickets. Coincidentally, only one is torn, and it's the $1 winner. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not, but that would make more sense of his attitude.We show him the $12 on the tickets. He says, "Take it up with the state. Not my fault."She says, "No, you owe me $9."The clerk then raises his voice, yelling at her that he has no control over the state. The state is his scapegoat. I interrupt and tell him the attitude isn't necessary.He yells, "I'm only giving attitude in response to hers!"She had barely spoken except a few questions and that one statement. She was more than polite about it, considering his demeanor. Neither of us was loud or aggressive.He again yells, "The machine is right! Nothing I can do! You just don't like it, but sorry I can't void it out, return your tickets, or pay you the difference. You'll need to take that up with the state." I'm not sure if the machine is right or the state is wrong? I don't quite follow his logic.Now there is a line forming and everyone watching, so another employee comes over to calm the situation. He asks what the problem is to which the clerk yells, "Nothing! This girl doesn't like what the machine says, and there's isn't anything I can do about it."My wife now irritated, responds, "I'm simply asking for what I'm owed! There's no way to count your til or view your transaction history?!" This display was the first attitude he received from us.He shouts, "No!" Then storms away while this other employee notices the winnings and starts typing in the lottery machine. He appears confident and seems to know a way to view the history or check the til.But, before he can make progress, his belligerent and incompetent colleague returns even more contentious. I deduced this from the pace at which he approached, his heavy breathing, and how he was now yelling louder. I assume he observed his colleagues impending success at proving him wrong In front of an audience, and his ego tarnished. He needs to reestablish dominance quickly.The only other interaction I've seen anyone approach somebody in a confrontational manner like this was in violent situations. I genuinely considered if he was going to try and take a swing at us. His mannerism and tone were undeniably and intentionally threatening.He yells, "You know what?! You want your money back? Here it is!" He flings a few bills under the divider.We take the money saying thanks sarcastically. He yells, "Don't come back!"I say, "We won't, and I'll be sure to let everyone else I know about this experience."To which, he yells, "Do whatever you want, dude! I really don't care!"Money is hard to come by right now. My wife is u”

“Henry's is about 50 minutes south from where I live, but well worth the trip a couple times a year for their prepared foods and bakery. I stock up on their heat-and-eat chicken pot pies (best I've had anywhere), raspberry filled cookies, and whatever else looks good at the time. Five stars!”

“We went there for the Beth Israel lahey Corona virus phase 2 vaccination. The whole experience was a very pleasant surprise. On about February 1, the hospital started sending out notices to its patients between 75 and 85 to sign up. We chose to sign up for Feb 4 to avoid the forecast snow storm and potential start up woes at 1:30. We got there at about 1:15 with plenty of close parking. There was as line of about 10 people for outside prescreening which moved quickly. When we got inside there was a line of about 5 people ahead of us. After a brief wait we were checked in and received our shots. After the shots we were taken to chairs for a 15 minute observation period, during which they booked our second shots. We were back in the car at 2:00. Overall a very pleasant experience.”
