The Markets.
I don’t know what I like better…an ethnic market with all kinds of products I’ve never seen, like the Russian one I visited in Brighton Beach, or the big city upscale markets with beautifully displayed products at sky-high prices. I visited a few of those in the West Village/Soho area while we were shopping for the party at Morton Williams, Dean & De Luca, Gourmet Garage and D’España.
One of several bakery counters at the International Market in Brighton Beach
No clue. (International Market, Brighton Beach)
Gourmet Garage in Soho
(Soho is a popular downtown neighborhood named for its geographic area South of Houston Street)
One of Gourmet Garage’s own coffee blends. Note the store’s tagline “shop like a chef“.
Jamon Serrano from D’España, $25 per lb.!
Morel mushrooms at $70/lb., Dean & De Luca
Purple & full-stemmed Artichokes, Dean & De Luca
Loved the decor at Morton Williams. Traffic lights indicate which lines are open and each aisle is named for a street in the neighborhood. So NY!
I’m going to skip with post with the scenic photos from my 5-day trip to NY (but they are available on Flickr.) I want to move on to Boston which I traveled to 2 days after I returned to FL. Just enough time to empty the suitcase, repack it and head north again! This was our annual ‘family vacation’ and we decided Boston would be a great place for an elongated July 4th celebration. And it was!
But, first, as we leave NY, here is a character who started celebrating the 4th early.
See you in “Beantown”.
