Prices are higher, still, not too bad because the quality of products justifies that. Clean restrooms, from bakeries to Italian stores, Mexican eateries, Indian, a bit of everything to pick from - everything from breakfast to dinner, to snacks. Donuts shops, ice-cream, specialized grocery stores, cheese stores. I'd love to come back someday and indulge some more! A must if you live in NY!

We had a problem with our order. When we opened the box, the chocolate babka was damaged. No problem Zabars understood and just sent us a new one. WOW! Talk about customer service. We were lifelong customers before, but now... you cannot make this stuff up.

It's not often in this life that reality meets anticipation. So maybe my experience at Zabar's Cafe…read morewas otherworldly. It certainly felt that way. I ordered the classic lox on a bagel, easy on the cream cheese. I was actually stunned at the perfection of the lox, how its mild saltiness lingered savory on my tongue, then made its velvety way down my throat, leaving a progression of sensations in its path. To be sure, the perfectly balanced toppings and the bagel itself worked together to create this sensation and therein lies the art of making the perfect sandwich. But let's not discount the quality of the smoked fish, and the expert hand which sliced it to just the right amount of thickness to create that perfect texture and flavor. Some practical details: the cafe is right next door to the market. Why wait to get home to start enjoying Zabar's delights? Order from the cashier and pick it up at the same place (not further down the counter where the sandwiches are actually made, though that is fun to watch). This time I passed on dessert, but will be back to sample the chocolate babka and apricot rugalach.

There are a number of similar names for this small, but mighty, establishment floating around on…read morethe internet: Ninth Avenue International Foods, Ninth Avenue International Market, International Grocery & International Food, Ninth Avenue International Grocery, or just what's written on the sign: International Grocery. Whatever the actual name, it seems that this Mediterranean specialty store has been open since 1947, run first by the Smitsis Family, and then the Karamouzis (including brothers Sotiris, Dinos, and Panayiotis). The Karamouzis moved it a few doors north to its present location in 1983. The neighborhood around the store has evolved a great deal over the years, but inside, old world charm persists. Everywhere you look there are bulk bins, barrels, and sacks brimming with: - Spices: all the staples needed for Mediterranean, Indian and North African cuisines, including za'atar, dried tamarind, cloves, allspice, rock salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, red pepper, black mustard seed, etc... - Dried fruits: pineapple, apricots, raisins, figs, diced orange peel, dates, etc... - Dried nuts: cashews, macadamias, almonds in every form, walnuts, pistachios, etc.. - Grains, beans, lentils, and flours - Coffee I love that International Grocery has stuck with bins and barrels for all these years. Bulk bins were the norm when the store first opened and are so much more environmentally friendly than the ubiquitous single use plastic packaging we see nowadays. Environmentally conscious folks are increasingly coming around to appreciate bulk bins and I wouldn't be surprised if they became the hot "new" trend in coming years. If you stick with something for long enough, it comes back into fashion, right? The wonders don't end with all those glorious bins, however. Far from it. Improbably, all of the following (and more) also neatly fit into a store the size of a suburbanite's two-car garage: - Olives -- about 10-15 kinds by my last count, but I've seen even more varieties at times. I love my crisp, green Castelvetranos and black Kalamatas; the Progeny loves her pimento-stuffed Manzanillas. - Antipasti (mushrooms, artichokes, giardiniera, gigantes plaki) and preserved lemon peel - Feta (Bulgarian, Greek) and other cheeses - Tzatziki and other spreads - A variety of fresh and packaged pastries (baklava, kourabiedes, koulourakia) and halvas - Olive oils, pomegranate molasses, carob molasses - Pita breads and pasta - Rose water - Amardeen (an apricot leather used to make a Syrian drink of the same name) Prices are quite fair and the owners + staff are kind, generous, gentle and gracious. When my 10-year old privately expressed interest in the orange peel to me, one of the owners overheard and offered her some to try. They didn't look at all askance when she delightedly opened various bins to sniff the beautiful aromas within. (I did teach her to waft the smells to her nose by hand a la chemistry lab, instead of sticking her head into each bin.) As much as I detest the areas around Port Authority -- it's one of the dirtiest, smelliest parts of NYC -- I do go out of my way for International Grocery and will for as long as we're both around.

It was actually filling and totally satisfied my sweet craving. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was a little stuffy. I'd probably go back to try one of their hot food options one day.

I decided to order some of the food options - the sushi tasted really fresh and their fresh pressed juices are top notch - specifically apple if they have it or the watermelon ones. Food bar wise - I love the chicken tenders and green goddess salad. Kelp noodles have been something I keep hearing about and I tried it - but it was just way too salty. Chicken caesar wrap they have is solid too. Can't wait to come back and try more options.

The menu has a lot of interesting tapas-style options, and since I wasn't quite sure how hungry I was, I decided to start with the tofu bacon bao. It came with two steamed bao buns filled with crispy tofu bacon, avocado, and arugula. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors lived up to it. The tofu was sliced into thin, crispy strips that added a great texture, while a light, creamy sauce tied everything together without overpowering the other ingredients. The avocado was perfectly ripe, and the buns were assembled thoughtfully, with just the right balance of fillings instead of being stuffed to the point where everything falls out. The two bao buns ended up being the perfect amount of food for me. They were satisfying without being too heavy and still left room for an ice cream stop afterward. If I'd had a bigger appetite, I definitely would have been tempted to order a few more dishes. Overall, I really enjoyed both the food and the service. The staff was welcoming, the atmosphere was inviting, and the bao were excellent. I'd happily come back to explore more of the menu.

I was in NYC for work and wandered in for brunch, and immediately loved the space...cozy, colorful, lively, and a genuinely diverse crowd. It has that very New York "I accidentally found a cool neighborhood brunch spot" energy. The menu is equally fun and a little unexpected. I ordered the waffle Benedict, which swaps the traditional English muffin for waffles. On paper, this is exactly the kind of unnecessary brunch invention I support. The waffles were good, but the meat was the weak link here. The bacon tasted pretty low quality and super fatty, and the chicken sausage was okay. I loved the concept, but the execution didn't quite live up to the idea. If you're looking for a cute brunch spot with okay food and a creative menu, UT Kitchen fits the bill. I wouldn't order it for delivery as the atmosphere is a big part of the appeal. I have to give them credit for the creativity and a vibe they've absolutely nailed.
