A number of gourmet specialty food stores offer fresh cheeses, olives, spreads and other foods from around the globe. Pick up a crusty loaf of bread and lunch is served — perfect for picnicking in one of Bella Vista’s quaint parks. Take out options abound: there are a variety of international sandwiches, e.g., paninis (Italian), Bánh mì (Vietnamese) and tortas (Mexican). Then there’s the “Philly Cheese Steak,” Philadelphia’s signature sandwich of chopped steak on a roll with toppings, available at a number of hot spots on the market. Finish off lunch with homemade chocolates, gelato or a pastry from one of several coffee shops and bakeries.
