International Foods and Spices
You know the Indian and Pakastani grocery, Rice and Spice on Chestnut and 42nd next to Kabobobeesh? Well, this one is different. It’s on Walnut and 42nd. OK, it’s a little bigger too. In any case, you’ll find food here you can’t find anywhere else in the city (besides Chestnut and 42nd)—paneer, gram flour, pickled mangos. I’m not completely ignorant when it comes to Indian food, but I could fill a good size bag with stuff from this place and not have the slightest idea what it is. Now that’s a good grocery. Plus, I know you’ve been looking to add to your Bollywood DVD collection. Not to mention clothes, (saris and such), incense, and other odds and ends including fresh samosas. Oh, and in case you’ve ever wanted to buy your rice in 50 lb. bags, they’ve got you covered. I’m thinking of making a couch out of a bunch of those things. The perfect place to eat my samosas.
