Very good resource
This is an excellent guide for food shopping in NYC. It would help to have a map showing where the shops are, as it requires pretty detailed knowledge of the neighborhoods to put together a plan. But all of my favorites are in here, well done!

Where’s a Map?!!!
This is a beautiful and excellent guide to gourmet shops in New York. Unfortunately, the authors failed to include a map or “cross streets” in addresses of the shops. I recently returned from a week in New York where my plan was to visit some of the shops listed in the book. Thats when I realized that in order to do that, I would have to call each shop I planned to visit and find out the cross street of their location and then plot it on a map. For example, there are several shops listed on Madison and Lexington, but without a cross street reference, you could be walking for days to find a specific shop. It would have been so simple for the editors to include a map by neighborhood in the back of the book…similar to how Zagat does their shopping guide. Maybe when they reprint, the editors will think to do this. I had planned to visit about 25 of the shops over the course of my trip, but since it took so much time to call each shop, I only got to about 10. They were fabulous just like the book stated….I just wish I could have gotten to the rest!

An Amazing Resource
For a gourmet cook like me, this is an amazing resource. One tends shop near home and I know quite well all the best providers on the Upper East Side. However, for many products, the best suppliers are in other parts of town that I am much less familiar with; I cannot wait to visit some of the wonderful shops that are described. Extra bonuses are the recepies and, particularly, the wonderful photographs. Great for the kitchen, the coffee table and gifts. A must for every Manhattan resident.

What a Gold Mine for Foodies
This book is amazing. First, they cover all 5 boroughs of New York. They have researched gourmet food shops that are so committed to a given food legacy and they offer recipes for the products sold. It is a treasure trove of great finds. My husband and I plan to make outings to visit so many of these places, especially in the outer boroughs. We know the selections must be great because some are quite consistent with those we know to be the most genuine and the best. The writing is nothing short of great. The photos are scrumptous.

The secrets are unvailed…here is NYC’s best gourmet shops
Consider this visual treat a must-own for serious foodies and cooks alike. Stunning photography best likened on a full stomach otherwise the hunger pains become woefully apparent. Here’s an excellent gift for a friend who shares your love of foraging. Wish “Gourmet Shops of New York” had a glove-compartment size edition for my travels throughout the wonderful & exciting boroughs of NYC. Susan Meisel and Nathalie Sann have written an endless quest for the best.
