  • Sahadi’s, a 122-year-old market, serves fresh Middle Eastern cuisine and other specialties in Brooklyn. People seek it out for hummus, dried fruit, and freshly roasted nuts. The Sahadis rely on family living in the Middle East to source many of the local Syrian products that are shipped by boat and sold in the store today. They work to source these ingredients despite political turmoil in the region. Insider’s Taryn Varricchio visited Sahadi’s to see what makes this market a New Yorker’s choice for the best Middle Eastern products in the city.

    "Theres a Trader Joes across the street, so why is everyone coming to Sahadis?"
    Thats like asking why people would rather go to a great local coffee shop than the Starbucks right next door. The product is better and its good to support local businesses, like I like to do 😀

      if you are willing to experience, befriend a local person from the Levant, and tell them (oh I heard your food is the second best in the region).
      be ready for many MANY home cooked meals to prove to you that (insert person's country) has the *BEST* food lol
      make sure you do give back so that you don't feel like a con-artist, and it would be morally fine.... you can tell the person with the whole trick after you experience the entire cuiine if you still feel guilty about it.

      Wittski Whiskey doesn’t do anything chemically. The hummus is blended and using ice instead of water keeps it colder and slightly thicker so when it’s refrigerated it doesn’t freeze. Using water can change the hummus’s texture. Keeping everything cold just makes for better hummus
