| - I really take for granted having Eton Collection in my neighborhood and the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it's like Target ... I go in for one thing and $100 later I walk out with a whole slew of stuff (and, I'm speaking specifically about Trader Joe's). Also, getting there would be much easier if you weren't forced through that mess of an intersection right off I-271. And, the only reason I don't avoid that intersection is because I have a difficult time resisting the urge to stop into TJ Maxx to see what their latest bargains are! But, back to Eton Collection. Trader Joe's is a great place for those "I'm having people over and don't want to fuss over appetizers, etc." situations, not to mention stocking up on their frozen food, Two Buck Chuck wine (although, it's really not $2 - I think it's closer to $3.50) and fragrant flowers (although, if you want a true deal, can't pass up Costco's everyday deal of 2-dozen roses for $14.99!).
Also at Eton is Sur La Table, Anthropologie for unique clothing, home furnishings and gifts, Barnes & Noble and great eateries like Bravo, Fleming's, Paladar, Taza and can't leave out Cold Stone Creamery (I LOVE ICE CREAM!). For tasty Cuban flavors, try Paladar and don't pass up their guacamole or any of their rum drinks. Taza is essentially Aladdin's Eatery (and, owned by those who run Aladdin's), but a more upscale version. Same great food, though. For those familiar with Cameron Mitchell restaurants in Columbus, they've opened a Mitchell's Fish Market at Eton. I've never had a bad meal at Mitchell's.
Parking is rarely an issue at Eton, although once the weather gets nice I find myself parking further away from store entrances, but it just gives me more time to walk around and people watch!
