A girl walks into a nut store, and it’s all it’s cracked up to be. I noticed Yossef Roasting Co. while cruising West Dixie Highway after visiting the neighboring Israeli deli, Etzel Itzik. Unfortunately, my first visit to this 4-month-old store was during Pesach (Passover), when most of the items…

Ooohhh, Beliebers! We’ve spent oh-so-many long days, sweaty nights, and tween years just desperately dreaming about owning “the ultimate amazing one-of-a-kind unique Justin Bieber collectable!” Not his bowling ball from the “Baby” video. Not his favorite pimped-out sizzurp cup. And no, not even a lightly used deodorant stick. The Bieber…
