One bag of Nom Wah crystal shrimp dumplings are $27 in the frozen food section. I thought it was expensive but the dumplings looked so perfect I just had to try them. I steamed them at home and they are just as good as in a restaurant. Turns out Goldbelly sells Nom Wah dumplings 2 for $109!!!! So one for $27 is a bargain! You are paying for shipping at Goldbelly even if it's free shipping. What a difference in price when you can buy the dumplings at Fairway! Also, the nice guy at the seafood counter had some nice fresh live lobster for $16.99 a pound, which wasn't that bad for the middle of the winter. I bought one at it was sweeeeet!

Recently I am introducing more and more because I love the taste. No doubt I eat a lot of TUMs but it's worth it some days. In the past I've had the Marhaba Mayan Tropical Sea Salt purchased here. I'm very fortunate to have a Yelp gift of the same Sea Salt without making a trip to the store. Here is the quote from the package. I recommend you visit the location for everything spicy your heart desires. I'll stick with sea salt for now. TROPICAL SEA SALT "This sea salt was harvested off the coast of Guatemala salt ponds, created along the mangrove forests, where Mayan began harvesting salt since as early as 1000 BC. Nurtured by mineral-rich volcanic soil and the tropical waters this salt lend it a mild minerality and higher moisture content, making it an ideal finishing salt, enhanced with the taste of the tropics. Adds flavor to both sweet & savory foods, such as seafood & grilled meat," It's definitely good!

They also have a large variety of health foods, including fresh produce, nuts, herbs, drinks, snacks, frozen items, pantry items, bathroom and hygiene, etc. There's also a small cafe where you can order juices and smoothies. It's a surprisingly large space that is filled to the brim, so it can be a bit overwhelming walking inside. The service was pretty friendly as well. The only drawback is that the items can be a bit pricier but I think it's still a nice spot for items you might not be able to find at other grocers.

I have never been to an Italian place with such poor customer service (esp as an Italian woman). The bread came out cold and the waiter was snappy to us. Please note that this restaurant has a serving style where the waiter will serve the dish directly on your plate and not leave the shareable dish on the table, which I had never experienced before. Super disappointed after I have had really excellent Italian at significantly cheaper places. Customers walked up to our table as we were finishing eating and audibly asked for our table. Overall very unpleasant and the interior was not very beautiful considering the price point (fake plants). However, the hostesses were wonderful and very sweet!

There is no distinctness of peppercorns in this blend, its just a drab overall flavor which is no even very spicy. Maybe they're using a lot of other ingredients as filler. That's how it comes across. A lot of over-priced hype which makes it seem like the NY Times endorsement was somehow dubious. Stick to Heidiard if you want something exceptional, even if you have to fly to Paris to get some.
