    Awesome spot, but they have been closed due to covid. No idea when they might reopen. You can get some goodies next door at friendly fruit market though.

    If Sid Wainer & Son sold wine, I'd bag groceries for them free of charge. Because that's how much I love this place. Among the many reasons are their selections of fantastic cooking oils, hard to find produce and a cheese room that would surely delight even the most scrutinizing of affineurs. And call me sentimental, but I discovered Morbier here. Smoked meat and bacon, foie gras, specialty beans, grain and rice with a diverse array of vinegar, pesto, curd, chutney and fruit keep those in the know coming back here in droves. If there's such a place that defines the term "Hidden Gem," it's New Beige's Sid Wainer & Son.

    If you need a soul cleansing or to get some serious retail therapy then this utopia of specialty grocery items will do you some reaaaal good. There is an entire room devoted to cheese. It's not a small room. Walls of cheese everywhere. Utterly and gloriously filled with cheese - from normal grocery sized portions to 40 lb blocks bigger than your head. The produce section is teeming with fresh greens and a very impressive selection of veggies including fiddlehead ferns, daikon radish, and a few veggies I'd never seen before, not even at Whole Foods. I ended up just getting a bunch of mint for a strawberry and mint water infusion - the smell of the leaves were so strong, I couldn't resist! The spice selection was varied and interesting - lots of spice blends! I got the Kabsa spice blend (spices, ground chiles, turmeric, saffron powder) - kinda wish they specified which spices! But whatevs, it'll taste good as a turkey burger rub. $4.99 for 2oz to give an idea of prices here. Prices here are generally steep depending on the item but some of the items can be really reasonable, especially on sale! Wait for their cheese sales!! With all the specialty spreads and pestos and jams and cheese you'd expect them to stock more specialty crackers! But alas - I only saw some lavash, butter crackers and table crackers - none too appealing. Other than that minor letdown, this place is absolutely magical. Just walking around this place inspires you to dream of all the wonderful and exotic dishes you can prepare in your own kitchen. This place is an absolute must on Saturdays because they have free samples and you can get full pretty easily munching on all the goodies - and the samples are portioned out generously! You'd get more here than hor d'oeuvres at a cocktail party. I was impressed by their savory dishes and desserts (banana bread pudding that was out of this world!). Recipe cards are free to take home for all the samples you absolutely love. The foods are made with love and you can bring the love to your own kitchen by attending one of their cooking demonstrations. Props to the chefs for showing the public how to use all these wonderful specialty items! And for bringing good taste into this town. Make this a Saturday event - it'd be an afternoon well spent!

    You used to be able to go there to shop as a member of the public. Also a nice array of things to sample. No more

    Where can I find black vinegar?

    Chinese markets will have black vinegar. Try Good Fortune Supermarket (Providence or Quincy) or Kan Man Supermarket (Quincy)

    When I went to the apple orchard, an employee named Tobias Stapleton provided excellent customer…read moreservice. He is a diligent employee and excellent I will definitely be coming back.

    If I could give this place 0 stars I would. We brought my dog, a friendly and gentle golden doodle,…read morewith us and waited in the parking lot to make sure dogs were allowed before entering the apple picking area. Although there were dogs inside, we were told by employees to put our dog back in the car as they stated there was a free roaming farm dog on the premise. There were no signs in the parking lot stating that dogs were not allowed nor was there a sign stating there was a dog free on the premise. As we were a couple feet away from my car to put my dog back inside, a vicious and unleashed German Shepard dog charged at my dog and me and began attacking her. The dog did not respond to the employees calling its name. Thankfully I protected my dog and she was not seriously injured as far as I can tell. I had to shield my dog from the German Shepard that continuously tried to get at her. I am seriously disheartened and upset with how this manner was handled. Small children and their families come to this orchard. This German Shepard should have at the very least been leashed to protect the visitors. I write this review to caution others with small children, friendly dogs, and even services dogs as this is not a safe or welcoming environment.
