Ralphs
7257 Sunset BlvdTypical big American grocery store. Closest to house. We only go here for things we can't find at Trader Joe's or Sprouts.
If you want a bottle of wine for the rooftop, swing by this place. Locally owned, curated by the owner, great finds and reasonable prices.

Slightly closer than the one in West Hollywood, this one is in the CineramaDome/Arclight complex, which is worth visiting in and of itself.
