Where to Buy Last-Minute Food Gifts in NYC - Eater NY

"A stroll through this Middle Eastern grocery store (there’s the Brooklyn Heights location and a newer outpost in Industry City), which has been family-owned since 1948, could easily result in a bigger bill than expected. There’s the hummus and baba ghanoush that regularly fly off the shelves, but the aisles are also filled with imported goods — from excellent olive oil to rare teas — that make for great pantry staples. The store recently debuted a cookbook, as well, a good source for recipes like red lentil soup and za’atar bread." - Emma Orlow
