May I suggest you ask the concierge to look up the location of the nearest Trader Joe's grocery store - there you will find inexpensive European and Greek style whole milk unsweetened yogurt (it has cream on top) -look for Trader Joe's brand.
You will also find local and imported chocolate, cheese, cookies, water; as bread, crackers, fruit, veggies and many other items. If your US visit includes San Francisco I recommend an easy-to-get-to wonderful downtown chocolate/magazine shop on Market and 1st Streets that offers tastings of marvelous small local and offshore companies that have achieved a loyal following because of their high quality. I'm afraid you won't find any Hersheys or Nestles though...
