Save your Euros; the finest bread is hidden in the north St. Petersburg neighborhood of Fossil Park. The Italian bread will keep you from ever buying bread at a supermarket again, and the Polish rye will make you think you died and went to Polish heaven; as George Costanza’s mother once said, “People take buses for this rye.” Oh, and don’t forget, M&G is also a European grocery store, with everything you need and more, including delicious baked goods. (Try their burek while you’re there.) Hint: Get there early when the breads are still warm, or the other babushkas will buy it all up before you. —Colin O’Hara
