Zabar's

Zabar's is much more of a market than a restaurant (though they do have a little restaurant area), but I think I deserves writing up because V and I got the makings of a great picnic there, which we enjoyed a few blocks away in Central Park. They have a great selection of meats and cheeses and practically everything else you'd want from a good grocery store or market. We got a few kinds of cheese, two types of salami and some crackers, all of which were great, and quite reasonably priced. Plus their pastry counter has amazing cakes and pies. I had a pecan cheesecake and V had an apple tart, which were nice individual (or maybe for-two) portions. For something like $25 we had a great picnic. I need to learn which salamis are which for next time!
