Andronico’s Market  1550 Shattuck Ave./Cedar St.; Gourmet Ghetto.  Stop here for picnic supplies.  This upscale supermarket purveys delicious take-out fare and locally-made gourmet treats, and boxed lunches are available by 24-hour advance reservation.  It operates within what was once the consumer-owned Co-op, a supermarket that operated here from 1938 to 1988 and was at that time the country’s largest urban cooperative.
