Awesome Specialty Food Stores - Page 3

great thread

My favorite specialty food store at the moment sells Pop (soda,fizzy...), it is aptly called 'Pops'. On any given day they have 15-20 different varieties of root beer, multiple colas, et cetera. I know that specialty soda shoppes are all over and that soda isn't a 'food', but it is pretty unique I think, and quite a lot of fun to drive out to on a scenic drive out to during a scenic drive along old 66.

Cheese, wine, cured meat - you name it. Gastronomic nirvana!

I just heard that Eataly is opening a NYC branch. Somewhere in the Flatiron district. Looks like it will be 60,000 SF. I can't wait!

Russ & Daughters is fantastic. I used to live around the block and probably spent half my paycheck there every week.

Best ever in my opinion was the original Balducci's in the West Village. I have not been there since it got taken over by Sutton Place Gourment, but I have been to some of the SPGs that got re-named "Balduccis" and they are nothing special.

Grace's on the UES is very good. Also Todaro's in Murray Hill/Kip's Bay.

Shopper's Corner, Santa Cruz.

Delux Foods, Aptos.

There are three awsome little markets in Carmel, I know them by sight but not by name. One I think is just called "Carmel Wine & Cheese."

I keep hearing a rumor that Lauduree is going to open a NY branch.
