NYCgrrl, I was just in the city a few weeks ago and some of the nicest spices I have ever seen were at the Chelsea market on 9th st. Also eataly on 5th ave had some very nice spices. Consider yourself lucky to have those 2 places so close to you
During the December holidays I become horribly "lazy" and spend my time indoors cooking my head off and maintaining my "how I make money" business. The retired man in my life becomes my "go fer" and I am NOT allowed to send him all over the city unless our grandaughter's wants and needs can be incorporated; he'll do ANYTHING for her.
Thus cool places like Eataly, Chelsea Market, Sahadi's,(amazing Middle Eastern spices there!) and Flushing( melange neighborhood of many different Asian foods), become not gonna happen places. One has to use their "powers" well;). I do appreciate the resources here but know I am soooooooooo not a grand cutie with total control of her peoples:D.
On my bright side DGD accepts that she may be a Princess but I'm a Queen. Hehehehe.
And here's a heads up for you- love the foodstuff of Eataly? Visit Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. It's a stretch travel-wise for visitors but oh so worthy. And cheaper. No one will mug ya and you'll have the ....pleasure of stopping at one of the original White Castle's if the place rocks your boat. Only fast food I eat every 5 years or so now, LOL. My digestive system pays for it but hey you only know ya live once.
