Let me preface this by saying my non-Yelp kid had already visited Manahel months before I ever…read morestepped foot in here. She splurged on a few honeys and had nothing but good things to say. So one Saturday afternoon, I finally stopped by with my mom. The space itself is airy, with like floor-to-ceiling windows that let in beautiful natural sunlight. The sun hits these whimsical, almost 18k-gold-looking sculptures on their shelves, giving the shop an elevated feel. The shop is small- but it's the kind of place where you want to slow down and really look around. Manahel offers a nice variety of Yemeni honeys, each with its own benefits. I ended up choosing a ginger honey and another infused with lemon, while my mom went with the ginger for herself too. In addition to honey, they also carry oils for hair and skin, which was a nice bonus and made the shop feel more holistic instead of it being one-note. Let's talk price- it's definitely on the steeper side. The smallest jars I purchased were about $30 each. For me, it felt like it was for the greater good- especially since I teach and my students are always sick. It was quality, intention and something I'm actually using for my health and wellness. There are still a few other items I have my eyes on. Honestly, Manahel feels like a 3-in-1 spot where beauty, their tradition and wellness come together- and that to me, makes it worth to return.

The store seems to be focusing more on expensive organic products, but unfortunately the quality control on some of the cheeses has gone down. I've purchased several cheeses here recently that tasted over-aged and strongly ammoniated. Properly aged European cheeses should have complex, nutty, earthy flavors -- not a harsh ammonia taste or smell. This has happened multiple times now. One of the biggest issues is that everything is prepackaged in plastic, so you cannot properly smell or assess the cheese before buying it. You only discover the problem once you get home and open the package. A good cheese counter should allow customers to smell or sample cheeses, especially imported and aged varieties.

The class is called "The Art of Butchery," and the Mosner family proves that it's an art. Seth,…read moreJessica and Ben Mosner, along with master butcher Chris Bauso, make the day fun, informative, and practical. To begin, once you're enrolled in the class, Seth provides you with all the information you'll need, from how to get there to how to dress. Whatever you do, pay attention to the dress code! It's cold in that meat locker! Kept at a uniform 32 degrees F, the hanging meat isn't the only thing that freezes... When you arrive, you suit up in butcher coat and two layers of gloves (cotton/acrylic for warmth, blue latex for food handling safety). Then Ben takes great delight in leading the "Meat Cheer." This breaks the ice (so to speak) nicely, and sets the tone for the next couple of hours. Then it's on to the fun part -- getting to know our meat! Did I mention that they have a whopping 250,000 pounds of meat on hand? That's 125 TONS. And that's what they go through in a week! One can't help but notice how absolutely spotless and odor-free the facility is. I mean, this is clean enough that my Grandmother would have found nothing to complain about (and she was a fanatic when it came to cleanliness!). Seth, Ben and Jessica took the class through the facility showing us an entire veal carcass, explaining what veal is and how it's raised, and answering any and all of our questions. Next, Jessica explained to us what meat labeling is all about. Think you know what "ALL NATURAL," or "NO HORMONES" mean? Curious about the difference between "GRASS FED" and "GRASS FINISHED?" Want to know if cows like corn? These mysteries and more were all revealed, some of which came as quite a surprise to the class. Then, we did an about face and watched a true artist at work. Chris Bauso, master butcher, made quick work of an entire loin of a hog, quickly and efficiently reducing it to chops, roasts and stew. We were admonished to pay close attention, as it was our turn next. But first, we were offered the opportunity to purchase prime meat from the Mosner's, and all at wholesale prices. Beef, pork, lamb...what could make a carnivore happier? I'll tell you what, exotic meat. Alligator, kangaroo (two kinds, I think), rattlesnake, rabbit (OK, not too exotic, but still). Finally, the main event. On to the butchering floor for our hands-on lesson. We were all given half of a hog loin, either the roast or chop end. Working with knives that are sharp enough to shave with (and kept that way by honing them every five minutes or so), we worked at recreating what we'd seen Chris do. I won't tell you whether I succeeded, but I will tell you that I enjoyed myself no end. And, as if all of this weren't enough, at the end of the day, the meat you've butchered is packed, vacuum sealed and boxed up for you to take home. Does it get any better? Actually, it does. The best part of the day for me came when I asked Ben, "So when will we get to see your reality TV show?" Ben chuckled and said, "Never. It's not like we haven't been approached, but we lack one crucial element of reality TV. There's no conflict between us." And it's true. One gets that idea that this family truly likes one another, and that they share a mutual respect that's rare. They really give the impression that not only are they family, but, at least for the time you spend with them, you're family too. And it really doesn't get better than that. If you're a carnivore, take this class. Between what you learn, and the fun you'll have, it'll be worth its weight in pork! Seth, Jessica, Ben and Chris, thanks for a great day!

The whole event was very organized (including before hand). As we moved around their building all the stations were set up, so there was little hanging around. My class was split into a few sections, after a little team bonding and shouts of "meat" we got going. Firstly a run through of the anatomy of animals and things to look out for or attributes that change taste, we even touched on a few ethical issues which were interesting. Secondly Jessica ran through food labeling which was very interesting, I consider myself pretty well educated on meat purchasing but learnt a few things (I didn't know to look out for 1000% grass fed vs grass fed). Finally we got into the butchery section, initially with a demo then an attempt ourselves. I definitely learnt a lot of techniques I could use and they helped you throughout. Overall the class was great fun, the instructors were very helpful and at the end I had a lot of delicious meat to take home. Highly recommended. Matt

Now, I'm sure commercial landlords are used to tenants asking them to rearrange window and door placements on the street front, but to pull down the front wall entirely?

There's always a really huge selection of fruits and vegetables out front (hence the name of the store, I think) and they're all really reasonably priced, if not downright cheap. Other than that, it's just a really large bodega with an unusual selection of herbs and chilis and other such things I don't recognize from my conservative suburban upbringing. :) Mostly I just enjoy coming here to make jokes about not being unemployed in Greenland.

Best spot if you want authentic Mexican food. Location: It is located in Morris Park, outside it looks like a grocery store but when you go in there is a small cashier that you can order the food. Also the grocery store has a lot of Mexican items that you can buy. Service: The server was nice, she gave me good recommendations. Food: All that I ordered was delicious, we finished it in one sitting because everything was delicious. PORK TACOS: omg the servings is huge and everything on it is fresh.
