The new owners (of this once-legendary NPR-famed purveyor of exciting and diverse global delicacies, where one used to be able to write whatever they wanted from all over the world on a whiteboard and have it ordered imminently, and where any kind of delightful non-alcoholic beverage nestled among the eclectic selection, as well as local and organic fare) have taken a true golden goose of a rare gem and for whatever reason slaughtered her and replaced her with the same kind of dog feces convenience outlet that sits on every corner of the city. Yes, where the labyrinthine snaking crowded endless aisles of NG once displayed the glory of the globe and local goods alike for a fair price in innumerable delicious and holistic forms unfound for purchase anywhere else in the city, now we have a paltry fraction of the aisles left in a near-empty redundant hole of drug paraphernalia, crappy booze, and mass produced American snack products. The unbelievable lack of foresight underscoring the new owners punching a gift horse in the mouth by replacing a famous-for-good-reason slice of multicultural perfection that was sorely needed and wanted, and beyond popular, with absolute BS one can get literally anywhere else not worth the "novelty" of 24-hour crapola, was well summed up by the new clerk shilling it as I wandered stunned in my miserable foray of this corpse of my favorite store today: "Kombucha? Never heard of it" said he. It was in every flavor and wholesome brand and size but you got rid of it. "Local scents? Not anymore." Pity. Seeing a lonely paneer leftover from the golden days, I brought it to the register. "Ew, what is this cheese? From India you say? I prefer American cheese. American cheese is the best" said he. Ah, makes perfect sense, I thought -- that tracks, with you turning a beautiful joy into garbage, that you would prefer plastic American cheese to traditional paneer. It's what the place is now -- pitiful trash, like plastic cheese. STEER CLEAR, AND HOPE FOR ABANDONMENT, AND PRAY FOR THE REBIRTH OF A NEW TRUE GOURMET SOMEDAY.

I saw rave reviews about the nightingale ice cream sandwiches so I had to give it a try. We went to…read morenorth side gourmet which is where they are sold. They are located at the front of the store in the freezer by the windows. WOW! They had a ton of flavors and it was so hard choosing which to get. We met the owner Faizal who was super friendly and talked to us about these popular ice cream sandwiches. After staring at the freezer for a few minutes trying to decide on flavors we all ended up with 5 ice cream sandwiches - 2 strawberry shortcakes, pecan pie, miso churro & peach cinnamon. We got to the car and ripped them open. They got soft quick so be sure to eat them up quickly. These ice cream sandwiches were huge. Both sides of the sandwiches were thick and chewy and the ice cream in the middle was stacked full giving you that perfect bite. The flavors were all so so good!!! My fave though would probably be the strawberry shortcake which had chunks of strawberries in it. The pecan pie was very good too, my fave ice cream flavor is butter pecan so I knew I would love the pecan pie flavor. Can't wait to try more of these and we will definitely be back to north side for their full stock of them! Aside from the ice cream sandwiches this place was stocked with so many other items and food!! Check it out if you need some groceries and be sure to grab an ice cream sandwich too!
