I remember living in a South American city and it was absolutely wild to walk a few blocks to gather everything I needed for the day–bakeries, butchers, roadside vegetable vendors…

You can still do this in many (most?) US cities (at least the ones I'm familiar with).

I rented a room in Boston once and I had to go to a single, medium-szed grocery store. I think rents can get too high to sell staples... But, yeah, if rents are low and you have foot traffic, of course you can pull it off. But you also need to have a substantial population that isn't driving to work every day and consequently passing 3 supermarkets on their way home.

I would bet my next paycheck that you absolutely can do it that way in Boston.

3 seconds on Google found me this (not a grocery store, more like a farmer's market with vendors): https://bostonpublicmarket.org/

Search things like "bakery Boston Mass" or "deli Boston Mass" or "Italian market Boston Mass" or "Polish market Boston Mass"....

And you will find places that sell various things and they're often found in the vicinity of one another.
