Stocking Your Picnic Basket at Brooklyn’s Best Gourmet Shops
The Family Store: Don’t walk into this Mediterranean specialty shop knowing what you want — let owner Sammy direct you to what’s best in the freshly prepared foods case that day, and you’ll leave happy with what you got. Think fire roasted eggplant salad and chicory greens with onions and garlic, meat pies, baked lamb and macaroni casserole, and silky nobs of homemade string cheese. Round out your Middle Eastern feast with a slice or two of the famous house semolina cheesecake, accompanied by fistfuls of jeweled dried fruits, nuts, and Lebanese marzipan.
