They usually have 2 varieties, as they did last week. One was a winter, younger cheese, not quite as crumbly as many are used to; it was delicious. He also had on offer Vacche Rosse, 24-month cheese, produced with the milk from a heritage breed of red cow (and quite delicious as well). Interestingly, he had priced both the same - I even questioned the pricing, thinking maybe they'd made a mistake, but they had not. They were both under $25/lb. The vacche rosse is like a loss leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small h Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Okay, I need to get over there. I need mozzarella, at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chidai (crimson sea bream) I got today from Wegman's was outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small h Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) I just had some fantastic madai sashimi at Japan Village. Must be the season. Edited March 14 by small h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchW Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I posted the La Boîte purchase I made over on the mail order topic, but I guess he also has a tiny brick and mortar shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does. It's on 11th Ave opposite DeWitt Clinton park. I've been several times. It's nice because you can sniff sample blends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relbbaddoof Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) Living within walking distance of spice shops is not the blessing it may seem, speaking as one who can walk to the excellent Curio Spices from his cosmopolitan Cambridge pad, and to La Boîte from his country pad in Hell's Kitchen. You may walk to these shops and sniff, but every sniff leads to a buy. Quickly reaching into my cabinets (and not even their innermost recesses) I find the never-opened: among others. Then the opened once or twice for a pinch: and then the more-often used: The Lucknow Fennel, as you can see, has flown too close to the sun of my gas flame.

StephanieL Posted Sunday at 10:55 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:55 PM We briefly had an outpost of Oaktown Spice Shop right near us. Now we have to drive to Oakland or head over to Menlo Park to the Penzey's store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchW Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Probably a few people here who know what this is... The first time I had one of these, a friend had brought me a six-pack, on her visit from London. Then, I'm walking around the neighborhood, and spot this place on Broome Street! https://shieurasia.com/ It was in another (unknown to me) location previously, and now practically around the corner!
