Stocking Your Picnic Basket at Brooklyn’s Best Gourmet Shops
Eastern District: This Brooklyn-centric gourmet shop boasts over 100 different selections of beer (plus six on tap for growler fills), and a slamming sandwich menu — we love the prosciutto and fresh ricotta, sided with a bag of Route 11 potato chips and a Fentiman’s rose lemonade. Of course, you can always leave the picking and choosing up to the pros — $50 buys an Eastern District tote stuffed with ½ lb of NY State cheese, Z crackers, Anarchy in a Jar jam, Brooklyn Brine pickles, Tumbador chocolates, and Ovenly spiced nuts.
