| - WOW! This store is the mother of all Giant Eagles. It has beer and wine, an actual bar, a tremendously large hot foods section, bakery, fresh seafood, a butcher, and a selection of items that your everyday Giant Eagle may not have. I can't imagine not being able to find what you're looking for here, even if it's a specialty item or something relatively hard to find.
Market District is located in Robinson's Settler's Ridge plaza and it's easy to find. You can enter through the beer and wine section, or the front of the store. If you go through the beer section, you'll notice they have a beautiful bar with TVs, and I joked with my boyfriend Darius that I'd leave him there while I shopped so I could get all of the items on my list in peace. He would probably enjoy that, though, so I'm not sure how much of a joke it was!
On to the hot foods. I've never eaten them, but they look delicious. Market District has a variety of pre-packaged hot foods and meals that I'd imagine make life a bit easier when you're pressed for time. They're a bit pricy, but again if time is the factor here it's worth it to spend the extra money once in a while. Sometimes there are deals where certain hot foods are on sale and that can make it more budget-friendly.
Now, my favorite part of the store: PRODUCE. If anyone knows me, they know that I'm a meal planner. I grocery shop several times a week between the markets in walking distance of my job or my own local grocery stores. The produce here is sometimes overpriced, but they have everything you can imagine and maybe even fruits and veggies you've never seen before. The multicolored cauliflower and carrots had me second guessing my plain orange carrots and broccoli, but I do love to see a good variety.
As far as the butcher and fresh seafood station, Giant Eagle has always been a dependable place to go for fresh meats and fish in my opinion. Last time Darius and I went to Market District we decided to treat ourselves to two of the crab stuffed salmon filets and they came to a few cents below $10, not bad. We got some of the prepackaged lobster mac and cheese to go on the side with our veggies, too. For dessert (you know a good dinner isn't complete without dessert), we got one of the chocolate chip pudding cakes from the bakery. We don't normally eat as extravagantly as this time, but you've got to treat yourself every once in a while!
Overall, if Market District wasn't so expensive it would probably be my main go-to grocery store. Because of the pricing, however, it's more of a special occasion to go here. I've always felt like I got my money's worth out of a trip to Market District, and most definitely like seeing all of the interesting goods they carry.
