Best bet for staving off scurvy

Sure, you can buy your fruits at Stop & Shop, but their quality might be questionable. And you could pick up your veggies at Bread & Circus, but you'll pay dearly for their green glow. So where do you go for high-quality produce at reasonable prices? Head to A. Russo & Sons in Watertown, a family-owned business that's been around for more than 75 years. From anise to zucchini - not to mention specialty and ethnic produce, plants, flowers, fresh bread, and assorted sundries - Russo's got the goods. And with wholesale customers such as Boston College, Brandeis University, the Lahey Clinic, Maison Robert, the Four Seasons Hotel, East Coast Grill, and Rialto, clearly they're doing something right.

A. Russo & Sons, 560 Pleasant Street, Watertown, (617) 923-1500.
