Vanilla Gourmet Specialty Foods - Review - Brighton Beach - New York - The Infatuation
"Stop into this Mediterranean speciality grocer for sweets and snacks to supplement your Brighton Beach picnic—or to treat yourself on the Q train home. Under evil eye charms and woven baskets hanging from the ceiling, the shelves are packed with a wide selection of dried fruit, nuts, baklava, halva, and dazzlingly colorful Turkish delight, in fragrant flavors like pistachio and pomegranate. But the best reason to come here is the piles upon piles of bulk Russian candy. Take a chance on a handful of these cheerful, foil-wrapped treats, and maybe you’ll discover a new favorite—like chocolate-covered chestnuts or candied plums. photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte Pause Unmute" - Molly Fitzpatrick
