The name "Golden Key" comes from an old Russian fairy tale. I've long forgotten what the fairy tale…read morewas about, but the name has always made me think of candy. There was a famous Golden Key candy store in Odessa. Little Odessa has one too. Russian candy is the best in the world - and this from a person who'll take sushi, dim sum or biriyani over a borsch any day. I didn't even know the travesty called milk chocolate existed until I moved to the States. Here, you will find some milk chocolate, more as a consession to Americans and Americanized Russian kids shopping here - but the majority of candy sold in the store is honest-to-goodness, real Russian chocolate. It sells other stuff - sausage, cheese, whatever... but really, who can bother with those things with all that CANDY! It lines the walls, it sits in bins, it's piled everywhere. Forget Willy Wonka, he didn't know what he was doing. If you want to know what real candy is supposed to taste like, this is the place for you!

Their prices aren't all that reasonable either - fairly elevated compared to other butchers. The owner seems to be scraping corners also. I shop here fairly regularly and the last time I spent $100, (his son?) was handing me a plastic bag for some small items so he rushes over and says "no more bags no more bags" and takes it away lol. Most small shops will give you a cloth bag when you spend a lot. This guy can't part with a plastic bag for some wet items. Anyhow, I'm all about the Impossible Burger these days so I don't shop here as much. This place is okay but I'd recommend one of the numerous other butchers around these parts.

I was quite surprised as I strolled by at 11:30 and was so curious from the great fruit and vegetable selection outside, I had to take a gander inside. Outside was more of interest to me, as my jaw dropped due to the pricing structure. In my neighborhood of Forest Hills, you couldn't buy rotten fruit and vegetables at these prices. Fourty nine cents a pound for a third of Mazals offerings? Unheard of in most every neighborhood regardless of ethnicity. As I was in route to meet a my girlfriend, I only could explore for a few moments. So with an open handed upward thrust, I bagged two handfuls if pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and peanuts. Once I was rung up my bill was $5.25. Open 24 hours!
