No Middle Eastern culinary repast—whether cooking homemade delicacies from scratch or partaking in delicious prepared foods—would be complete without a trip to this clean and stylish gourmet marketplace, which was founded in 1948 and is stocked to the rafters with everything you could ever need from the Far and Middle East. In addition to coffee, cookbooks, nuts, dried fruits, candies, jams, a plethora of spices and canned specialty foods (among them, grape leaves, Imam Bayeldi and roasted peppers), the grocery offers a selection of freshly prepared foods that are authentic and delectable. For holidays and other special occasions, shoppers can assemble their own gift baskets from the store’s mouthwatering offerings.
