Whole family are big Rick's Picks fans! Definitely recommend trying these pickles. I enjoy a healthy snack -- especially for the kids.

My friend raved about them and how her family had been coming here for years and how her brother from the Carolinas sent her money to pick up pickles. I was in West Hempstead on my way to the highway and my friend reminded me that the Pickle People were there, but I needed to have CASH which I almost never have. Thank God I found a few bucks in the car. These pickles are amazing. I ate three pickles before leaving the parking lot. Every flavor is good! I love horseradish so I ordered the quarter. I definitely have to go back and get the Cajun, spicy and sour. The service provided by Eddie was amazing. He takes time with each customer, which explains why they have repeat customers.

I had been wanting to try this place ever since I came across their website. But when I finally…read morevisited, the actual store felt a bit underwhelming. The person at the counter was helpful and offered samples, which was nice. I wasn't looking for any specific spice--more so just exploring and hoping to discover something new. Since I usually cook with a lot of spice, I was curious about finding a smoky-flavored powder and ended up buying a small bottle of one. It's still waiting to be tested in the kitchen. The products are definitely on the pricier side, so something to keep in mind. Let's see how the smoky spice turns out!

The owner is lovely and will happily chat with you about ingredients and cooking/baking ideas. It's the kind of shop that I can walk into with perhaps just an idea of what I'm hoping to find and walk out inspired and armed with the best quality ingredients. I will definitely be coming to visit each time I'm in NY! If you're a home cook or baker and in search of obscure ingredients, check SOS out. It'll be a fun treasure hunt!

They have a sticky caramelized texture that's sweet and sticks to your teeth a little bit. They're roasted whole first, then cut really thick, and then roasted again.

It's simple, nothing fancy but a great snack to walk around Flushing with. I recommend getting the sweet potato sticks warm and eating them right away!

Date of visit: April 12, 2026…read more This small, unassuming spot didn't really even trigger my radar the first time I walked by it, but our second time through Times Square it registered what they were selling and that it would be a good gift idea for a friend. I am not a tinned fish connoisseur myself, but our friend is, and having the tins with the various years and facts from that year on them is genius and makes for a great gift that is not yet another keychain or t-shirt. Staff were friendly and mostly stayed out of our way--helpful considering that the entire store is essentially the size of a well-appointed bedroom. The price is likely high given the item, but again, it is a unique and easy to transport gift item that was really perfect for the recipient. Not so sure how long this place will last, but I am glad it was here when I needed it!

There are so many other statements I agree with here. "The interior is candy to the eyes, but it's definitely a tourist trap." "Sounds like the title of a Wes Anderson film." Yes, it's whimsical, it's colofrul. It's fun to peruse the flavors and types, there are even sardines decorated for every state. But after reading others reviews, and also reading the review that said it was the most expensive, yet worst tin fish she'd ever had, I'm glad I went with my gut . . . look at the shiny tins, the pretty colors, take some photos, and walk on out without purchasing anything.

Wonderful event!! I had the pleasure of attending a lovely informative and fun URBANI TRUFFLE…read moreEVENT -The first one--in fact!! ...On March 26, 2026. NYC SHOP/OFFICE IS LOCATED: On West End Avenue, but it's also 11th Avenue (!!) See my very cool photo, where you will see street signs of each on opposite corners!!! Yes, one side say 59th /11Ave, and other says West End Ave/59th street!!! Save this street info for when you have a lull in your conversation with a new friend LOL. GOOD TO KNOW: URBANI TRUFFLES ARE FLOWN IN FROM ITALY, NOT IN THE CARGO AREA OF THE PLANE, BUT IN FIRST CLASS, ON THE PLANE!! (May I help carry your bags, URBANI Truffles?) One of the owners, Olga, happen to be in town and we got to meet her!!! She was in from ITALY. URBANI TRUFFLES does business with many of the FINE DINING RESTAURANTS HERE IN NYC!! I think I learned of the event on the app EventBrite, and I paid under $100 for my ticket. I don't recall the exact price of the ticket, but I think it was in the $80-$90 range. The event was limited to 15 people, which was a perfect amount, just right. We were seated at a table in a squared-off, U-shape. Perfect! Olivia, a welcoming and delightful person, with a wonderful knowledge of TRUFFLES, shared her knowledge along with a brief, slide show, and I honestly think that we all really enjoyed every moment. We not only learned, we tasted several types of truffles(!!!) which were part of a food item. For example, a white truffle gave a garlic flavor, so the white truffle oil would be sublime on a pasta, or a steak, in my humble opinion. We tasted almonds infused (?) with truffle. Truffle Pita chips--sooo good. I bought a bag ($7, I think). I shall be back for more, for certain! There was white chocolate made with white truffles-and dark chocolate made with truffles. Yes, imagine white chocolate with a hint of garlic!!! Yum!! As I said at the event, I could see creating a delightful, light, white chocolate dessert pasta with this!! Mmmm! We enjoyed sparkling water to cleanse our palate, or to quench our thirst, as well. I'm not giving you all the details of this lovely event because I think you should be surprised for some of it. IT WAS TOTALLY WONDERFUL!! I hope that if you are curious about truffles, you try to attend one of these wonderful events because you'll love it The bottom line is I highly recommend this event. It was a thorough delight. No one was disappointed and I'll let you be surprised for the rest, but I highly recommend this if you love truffles or are curious to learn about truffles, then, see when the next event is. I will leave you with one more major tidbit. We actually got to touch and hold some large, beautiful truffles. This was a lovely event. Thank you URBANI Truffles, and Olivia, and Olga. If you simply want to buy some of the URBANI Truffles, or Truffle food items, such as Truffle Oil, Truffle Salt, Truffle Pita Chips, Truffle Chocolates made with Truffles, you can visit the shop, Monday thru Friday. See the hours. I believe as of this writing they may close at 5pm. See my photos. Enjoy!
