When we lived at 18th and Walnut for 5 years, we shopped at Rittenhouse Market at 18th and Spruce. Most convenient, two block walk, and they deliver to your apartment/home for $6. Never really went anywhere else. Plus, there's DiBruno's, Food & Friends and the Target at 19th and Chestnut has a pretty large grocery component. Every Saturday, the Rittenhouse Farmer's Market too.

It's not hard at all to get to TJ's, Whole Foods on the Parkway or South Street or Acme on South Street either if you have a car. Now there's Sprout's and Heirlooms on top of that. Plenty of options!
