    I have walked by here plenty of times but never stopped in. Walked by it again and decided let me check it out. Cute store with many different kinds of salt, chocolate and flowers. Great store to buy a gift for those who love to cook or love chocolate. The person working here was super nice and we had a little conversation and she told me about different kinda of salts too. Highly recommend checking out this store even if you do not need a gift.

    Saw this gem on a night time stroll after dinner Very unique & cute space. Will let you sample many of their items which was cool. Staff was very polite & helpful.

    Stumbled upon this shop on a night stroll in SOHO. I was pleasantly surprised. The employee working was so friendly and knew her salts and chocolates like the back of her hand. Never knew how much variety salts come in and they had popcorn with truffle salts as samples. There were so many exotic cacao chocolate bars to choose from, all very creative and also good for you! Ended up getting a handful, would love to come back from some salt for cooking.

    Cute little shop with gourmet items for gift baskets and fresh flowers

    Cute shop to visit! Lots of cute stuff and the location is ideal for an afternoon stroll

    The Meadow has relocated and it's as great as it's always been! Stopped by recently to grab a bunch of chocolate. In addition to the big selection of chocolate, salt and bitters, the new location also has an expanded pantry section with pasta and other dry goods. Will be back ASAP!

    Adorable store that sells an eclectic mix of chocolates, salts, and bitters! I have never seen so many bitters in my life and had no idea of the wide variety available. There are tester products, so you can sample most of the ones that they have for purchase. I bought the yuzu bitters, which are delicious! My friend got the orange and fig ones (also great). They are not cheap though since this is a specialty product. In addition, I was definitely eyeing the Himalayan salt mortar and pestle... Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about the products. He gave us great recommendations about how to use each of the bitters. He never got annoyed despite our myriad of questions and indecisiveness. Overall: Will definitely be back to peruse the wares!

    Overall, a lovely, cute little store in the West Village. I found out about them via the salt book and googling around. Paid a visit while visiting New York and well worth it! If you want a destination other than the usual touristy things, a visit to this store is a lovely little experience. Nice curation and unique experience. Staff is efficient, friendly, and helpful. I took probably 45+ minutes sampling salts, trying to ascertain the perfect assortment of salts for my kitchen that was also within budget and could fit in my carry-on luggage! The staff was patient with me and I got some bamboo salt and sel gris that was quite lovely, and I've enjoyed the salts these weeks afterwards in my cooking. There are also an extensive collection of chocolates and bitters. Next time I'm in New York, I might try to get some bitters! Bathrooms: Didn't see any; don't remember, but probably not, as it's a small shop.

    Here are the 2 cabinets (two!) full of different kinds of bitters.  Bitters raised to an art form.  Cocktail masters, stop and shop!

    I loved this store. I was just walking by on my way to lunch, and stopped in when I saw they sold bitters. Do they ever sell bitters! They have about 100 different kinds of bitters. Now, I practice Daoist medicine (I am doing an artist-in-residence gig at CAP Beauty on West 10th, hence I was in the neighborhood), and bitters are used to improve the release of bile which improves digestion. But my darling hubby is a cocktail master, and so we have about 4 different kinds of bitters to use in making drinks. I took a photo of the 2 cabinets (two!) full of a wide array of bitters. There were so many different flavors my head was spinning. OK, now this shop is full of lots of other very cool things, too. What drew me in was the big slabs of pink Himalayan salt. I guess people cook on those, but I want one for my acupuncture office on Union Square, as salt is the flavor associated with the deepest energies in the body, the Kidney Yin and Yang that are our constitutional-level energies. A good thing to have in an office where I regularly need to recharge people's deepest energies to restore them from too much stress and from overwork. If you like great, quirky things and places, stop on by, you'll enjoy The Meadow. Just north of West 10th Street on the West side of Hudson Street.

    Where do I even start? As a chocolate-lover soon to be connoisseur, The Meadow seems like the perfect beginning. Chocolate from all over the world, it's almost hard not to get every bar there. The person working told me, "just close your eyes and reach your hand out." After trying three bars, I'm confident any pick at The Meadow will be a pleasant one. Not only do they have chocolate, but salts, bitters, and Salt & Straw ice cream. If you didn't know there was a different between salts, you definitely will after trying samples here. They were making truffle salted popcorn when we walked in, and after a couple handfuls I had to leave with a bag of my own. And I was almost hesitant to try the ice cream, I didn't want to know of a Honey Lavender flavor better than my local store, but... I was both amazed and disappointed. I guess I'll be going here for Honey Lavender now haha. Although a bit pricey, the feeling of international immersion is well worth it.

    I really went just for the salt block, but there is a whole section of bitters as well, with a book all about bitters.

I knew exactly who to call when I needed a special Mother's Day bouquet for my mother-in-law. I spent $50, but it honestly felt like I got so much more than what I paid for.

When I brought their vision to Lena at Alaric, she listened intently and immediately understood what they were after. Her solution was brilliant: instead of overwhelming the space with flowers, she designed a striking tall vase of calla lilies for the bar (with matching bouquet and boutonniere), then created a breathtaking display of 120 candles in varying sizes for the tables and altar. Lena arrived an hour and a half before the ceremony to set everything up, and the result was pure magic--gorgeous, ethereal, twinkling, and dramatic. It was exactly the modern elegant vibe the couple had dreamed of. Everything exceeded our wildest expectations: the creative design, the meticulous setup, and the extremely reasonable cost. I've already recommended Alaric to all my friends, and I honestly can't imagine ever using another florist in the city. Lena turned their vision into reality, and we couldn't be more grateful.

I…read morehave gone to this shop a couple of times 1st to get info on types of plants they have as i have NEVER owned a plant. 2nd time i went to purchase, off course its cash only and no one carries cash these days. The guy looked angry when i said ok well ill come back another time w/cash. I did return a week later. I asked him questions about another plant and prices... he was on his cell phobe and got angry and said "you never buy anything!!!" I was shocked and said well yea i told u i.was coming back with cash... After a few mins of me asking normal plant questions (i never owned a plant just wanted to know how long this lasts) he said "Please leave" ...i was like what ?? He kept repeating u don't buy.. go and i was like what are u talking about I need to know prices on a few plants bc i was going to buy a couple... So this employee comes from behind the counter and PUTS his Hands on my upper arm and practically pushed me out....his face was so close to mine i yelled to back off!! And asked the owners name... off course he didn't say anything .. i was shocked he came so close bc of COVID ... now im freaking out. So ur basically not allowed to come into the shop more than once ?? Or ask questions??? This place is disturbing and they don't know how to run a business.

First reason Im writing this review is because the negative reviews on google seem like such BS... one review is negative because the man asked if the flowers are cat friendly... wtf are you talking about dude. Its a flower shop not a veterinarian.. you should know which flowers are good or not since you're the cat owner. Second reason is because of bs reviews about customer service. Both reviewers seemed to think they're the only people to exist and that the shop owner needs to bow before them.. Give me a break, they're a busy flower shop and they were helping other people... allowing you to look at the options until you come and tell them what you want. Stop being babys and then running to google reviews and trying to hurt a small business. 5 stars all the way for being straight up New Yorkers and having quality products.

    TERRIBLE service, TERRIBLE products…read more I went with my son to order a corsage and boutonnière for his prom. We described what we wanted. Two days later, we came to pick up the order and we were SHOCKED!!! The roses they used were wilted, stained and HUGE, so big that they would not fit on my son's lapel and the wrist corsage would have reached the elbow of my son's date. When I asked them if they thought the items were too large, they were rude and told me that they would be fine. The corsage and boutonnière were UNACCEPTABLE and the staff were extremely rude. We picked these up the afternoon of the prom and when I asked if they could help us make them smaller or redo, they refused to help. My son and I were extremely disappointed, these were not inexpensive items and they treated us poorly. I would DISCOURAGE ANYONE from using this florist!
