We Heart Willow & Nees

Ok, so Chris and I have developed a favorite intersection in Fresno...this may sound odd, but seriously, this is the BEST intersection in all of Fresno. There are three main shopping centers on the northwest, northeast and southeast corners.

Northwest Corner:

The main attraction in this corner is a store called Yodigity Yogurt. It is a self-serve yogurt shop. Patrons can choose from 10 flavors and up to 80 toppings - everything is "do it yourself." You also will pay by the ounce, so I can get a super small size, and Chris can get as much as he wants - brilliant!





Some favorites of ours are
- cheesecake yogurt with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and hot fudge
- peanut butter and chocolate yogurt with reese's peanut butter cups and hot fudge
- coffee yogurt with heath bar and hot fudge

If you ever come visit us, then we will be sure to take you here.

Northeast Corner:

In this corner there are a few faves - Sonic, Braun's Ice Cream, Grogg's Pub, and this awesome New York Style Deli that serves great sandwiches...I won't elaborate on these, but let's just say that they are all worthwhile.

Southeast Corner:

1. Time for Thai - in my opinion this is the best Thai food I have ever eaten. The best part about Time for Thai is that it is SO inexpensive! Chris and I can go in and each order and entree with rice and we escape for right around $20 including tax and tip. They have the BEST yellow chicken curry I have ever eaten!





2. Trader Joe's - how can you go wrong - enough said.

3. Save Mart - you may be saying, what's so special about a Save Mart??? That's what I thought too. However, this particular Save Mart has this policy that the will NOT allow their female patrons to unload the groceries themselves. Forget the usual "Can I help you with your basket?" comment. These guys go the distance. If I ever escape the check-out without one of them already grabbing my basket, I inevitably wind up with one of them chasing me down and taking over. At first, this seemed a bit obnoxious, but once I swallowed my pride and realized the chivalry involved with this (particularly when it's raining, and they tell you to just get in the car) I began to REALLY enjoy this one.

4. Hungry Bear Cookies - this place is awesome - the BEST is the chocolate vanilla swirl cookie. I really try to avoid this place - it's that good.
