I recently learned of this store from the owner of a new Turkish restaurant that opened in my…read moreneighborhood (read my review of Effes, should you like) because I noticed that he had an giant bottle of cured sumac. I asked where he got it because I've been looking for some (and by some I mean a lot) and am totally unwilling to spend $12.00 dollars for a little bougie glass bottle. He told me about Vintage Specialty Foods! Listen: once you've used cured sumac you can't go back to powdered sumac. Q: Wait. What?? What is sumac anyway? A: Sumac, from the Arab word summaq, meaning dark red, is a spice made of the dried berries of the rhus coriaria shrub. It grows wild and happy in arid rocky environments; think Sicily and parts of the Middle East like Iran, but also in North America. Sumac berries are ground into powder or chopped and preserved with salt (this is cured sumac) and used to flavor or finish beans, vegetables, meats, poultry and fish. I've even had shortbread flavored with sumac and it was O_o. Sumac has been prized by First Nations ancestors for its medicinal values since wayback days but its tart, floral and fruity taste--kinda like if sour cherries and sunlight plus a garden could be distilled into a moment--is a flavor that we highly prize in our current small plates-make it snacky-but-not-just-tapas zeitgeist. I learned that Vintage Specialty Foods has a small, yet solid Turkish spices section--both bottled and bulk. I grabbed at least half a pound of cured sumac :D I also got some isot or urfa biber https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urfa_biber and nigella seeds (known popularly as black seed or black cumin). Vintage is a lovely, well lit, jewel like specialty grocery, known for its bulk bins of dried fruits & nuts and enormous selection of candies (some which are sugar-free) as well as its teas, coffees and biscuits. (I got some gorgeous dried fruit tisanes and a giant bag of melissa, too!) In the back of the store you'll find a wide selection of olives, Turkish and neighboring nations' cheeses, yogurt and fermented milk products, as well as a small butchery. In the front of the store you'll find sweet buns, Turkish pastries, rusks, breads, and a coffee and tea station. The staff are calm and professional, if not super cuddly. Perhaps this is cultural? No matter, you're here for the goods not necessarily affection! I will say Vintage shoppers are a dedicated, focused bunch so if you're more in the mood to browse and contemplate purchases, you might feel a bit at odds at first, but soon enough you'll get into the opportunity to elevate your kitchen vibe and find yourself the very happy consumer of a number of tasty treats. Covid protocols: Everyone was masked up. It's up to you to be on top of your own six-feet apart measure--which is hard in a small shop--but can be done.

The name "Golden Key" comes from an old Russian fairy tale. I've long forgotten what the fairy tale…read morewas about, but the name has always made me think of candy. There was a famous Golden Key candy store in Odessa. Little Odessa has one too. Russian candy is the best in the world - and this from a person who'll take sushi, dim sum or biriyani over a borsch any day. I didn't even know the travesty called milk chocolate existed until I moved to the States. Here, you will find some milk chocolate, more as a consession to Americans and Americanized Russian kids shopping here - but the majority of candy sold in the store is honest-to-goodness, real Russian chocolate. It sells other stuff - sausage, cheese, whatever... but really, who can bother with those things with all that CANDY! It lines the walls, it sits in bins, it's piled everywhere. Forget Willy Wonka, he didn't know what he was doing. If you want to know what real candy is supposed to taste like, this is the place for you!

So in all transparency, I'm rating this as a supermarket with food options, rather than just for…read morethe hot bar itself (even though that's all I sampled), which would be a 4.5. As other reviews can attest, this supermarket has all of your favorite Soviet-style products. As I was about to travel home, I did not have, for instance, any of the many variety of herrings. Instead, I went to the famous hot bar to get some snacks for my flight--kebabs or plov wouldn't travel well, so I basically used it as a bakery. The pumpkin samsa was excellent. It was a bit worse for wear as the outside was no longer crispy, but the flakiness shows how good it must have been. The pumpkin filling was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. The next day, I had a spinach qutab, which I reheated on a cast-iron. It wasn't quite as good as made-fresh, but you could tell how good the crust would have been, and how fresh the spinach still was. Given that trays of food kept coming out as I was browsing, I think this is as good as a buffet gets--it's limited only by the fact that it's a grocery store buffet/hot bar.
