@janette - it's on wyoming just north of constitution, west side of the street. they just did a little remodel to make their in-store dining area a bit more defined.

i love that place and their restaurant is very high quality.

Where is that located? I've never heard of that place until now. Ta Lin doesn't seem to carry stuff like that...I had a hard time trying to find items for Passover recently.

@ Norio Hayakawa : Try Instanbul Market... it's international. I get caviar and Russian items there.

We lived in Los Angeles for almost 26 years and moved here in 2008,  There is little to miss about Los Angeles.

Sure, L.A. is a very cosmopolitan city, but so is Albuquerque, in many ways.

Although I wish that there were an Armenian grocery here.  So far I haven't found any in Albuqueruqe.   The reason I am looking for an Armenia grocery store is because I used to buy great marinated shishkabob meat in L.A. for barbecuing.

But, anyway, Albuquerque/Rio Rancho is a great place to live.

In L.A. we were paying about $200 to $300 a year for vehicle registration.   Here it's way way cheaper.

Also, what I like best about Albuquerque is the Freeway system, I-25 and I-40.  You can get anywhere so easily with this simply freeway system.

we moved here almost 10 years ago. i still miss quite a bit about LA; it a pretty unique place. abq has quite a bit going for it, all things considered, but it takes some time figuring it out.

i keep in touch via some LA-centric blogs and i really look forward to visits - so much true urbanity and excitement and creativity there.

Hello fellow LA expats, I moved to NM about a year ago after living in the LA area for 22 some years. Was glad to leave the insane traffic congestion, crowd, and everyday "fresh smog" for wide, open spaces and ruggedly beautiful land here. But the thing is I have been missing LA a lot lately. Wonder if this is a common phase one goes through. Being a wanderer, I didn't think I would miss my former home city. Oh well, I suppose one often doesn't know the value of something until it's gone.

I lived in LA or the county for almost 30 years, worked there as a nurse and miss it very much.

Goofy looking palm trees, Zankou Chicken, Lawry's Prime Rib, Ita Cho, June gloom...yep, that's all I miss. The Chinese used to call California "Gold Mountain." They'd go to Gold Mountain, make their nut, and go back home even if it only meant having their bones sent back. I went to Gold Mountain in 1980 and came back to Albuquerque in 1999 with half a house and a perfectly good used husband. Now every time I park in front of where I want to go instead of trolling for a space for half an hour I say I love you Albuquerque. Every time I step out into my yard and not out of some apartment building I say I love you Albuquerque. Every time I drive for 5 minutes and I'm out of town I say I love you Albuquerque. This isn't the best place to try to make a buck but . . . I love you Albuquerque.
