Best of Rhode Island 2009 Editors' Picks

A tad neighborhood convenience store and a bit old Woolworth's, this quirky hybrid is a trove. Run in for soda, come out with a generous pack of bamboo skewers for $1.49. Food items take second place to household stuff: a jumble of everything from muffin tins and pie plates to aprons, shower curtain liners, light bulbs and cutting boards. We even unearthed cute totes ($2.99 each!) across from the glass measuring cups and toothpicks.
