La Boite

29 International & Specialty Grocery Stores In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"You probably stock your spice cabinet with McCormick’s brand crushed red pepper bottles that once lived a few aisles away from a full-stocked shelf of Cinnamon Toast Crunch boxes - we’re right there with you. But if you ever decide to get more serious about your spices, head to La Boite. This Hell’s Kitchen spice shop sells every spice you could need, plus a bunch of high-quality spice blends, French shortbread cookies they call “biscuits”, and chocolate bars. Right now, the store is only open for online pick-up orders, and since they’re offering free shipping across the U.S. for orders of $40+, you can also send your grandmother in Wisconsin a few bottles of smoked salt and some za’atar." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
