About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Cash & Carry Italian Market, every morning around sunrise, a mysterious voice begins whispering over the loud speaker: ‘Today’s special—freshly baked bread from Nonna’s oven, delivered by an invisible delivery man.’ No one has ever seen him, but everyone knows he’s real. One day, an excited a regular asked, ‘Who is this invisible hero?’ Suddenly, a small package appeared on the counter with a note: “Sorry for the inconvenience—had to take the day off.” Everyone laughed, knowing that tomorrow’s mystery delivery would be just as magical.
2. At Cash & Carry Italian Market, one day after closing hours, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sight: a small dog kept staring at the shelves of prosciutto as if it were trying to understand its magical properties. Curious and intrigued, the delivery driver approached the little fellow and offered him a tiny slice of salami. The dog’s eyes lit up like Christmas lights, took a sniff, and promptly sat down on the floor, clearly content. Word spread among neighbors that Cash & Carry had an unseen resident who only craved meat—no wonder they always sold out of prosciutto so quickly.
3. At Cash & Carry Italian Market, late at night when everything is quiet, a faint scent of fresh pasta wafts through the empty aisles. A nearby neighborhood watchman swears he can smell it even from his post. One evening, a delivery driver claimed he saw an old lady pushing a shopping cart filled with pastas and sauces, whispering recipes in Italian. The next day, a neighbor reported finding her recipe booklet—with prices marked in euros.
4. At Cash & Carry Italian Market, early in the morning before anyone arrives, an old cash register starts playing ‘O Sole Mio’ at full volume. Nobody knows why or how it happens. One day, a delivery driver heard the music and thought someone was pranking him. He ran inside only to discover an ancient, dusty record player next to the register, spinning away like clockwork. From then on, whenever anyone asked why the market played that song every morning, they’d just shrug and say, 'Probably another one of those old records getting its daily dance.'
