Ni Japanese Deli, creating delicious bento boxes, miso soup, and rice bowls with ample vegan and vegetarian options. Dhamaka is an award-winning Indian soul food focused on rare provincial recipes.

Luis Meat Market A legacy, family-owned butcher shop operating for over 20 years, offering a massive variety including specialty cuts. They provide a great bang for your buck and it's my go to for morcilla and oxtails. Porto Rico Importing Co. is an old school coffee importer with a branch conveniently located inside the market. Today, the market houses nearly 40 independent vendors, community spaces, and a mezzanine with public seating. It remains a vital culinary hub that perfectly blends neighborhood grocery essentials with artisanal dining.

You might even find knick-knacks here though dont hold your breath, no real antiques/collectables.

If you work nearby, visiting the 9/11 museum, or at a hotel nearby, it's good for a quick stop during the day. The market is divided into multiple counters, each selling pizza, sushi, sandwiches, pasta, and more. Go to the counter that you'd like and order. If you order a variety, you'll be visiting multiple counters. The linguine with white clam sauce from Sal Anthony's was very good. Hot, garlicky, firm linguine, and good flavor. The cheese pizza from Buon Cibo was also a standout, a great crust and good flavor without being soggy or greasy. Another plus is a lot of the seating area is inside the market side, which means you'll be surrounded by drinks and desserts. The variety is impressive with beer, soda, juice, water, sparkling water, Korean, and Japanese soft drinks.

It's always a great place to use the restroom if you need one. There's a bakery on the first floor that sells beautifully crafted pastries. I'm quite intrigued by their key lime tart. This time, I tried their vanilla rum canelé. Honestly, I think the price is okay-reasonable at $4.5 for the vanilla and $5 for the Dulce de leche canele. The vanilla rum canele was not bad. But it was a tad bit sweeter and drier than I would've liked. I think the aritizia cafe one is still reigning champion for now.

It made my visit to the Bazaar all the more pleasant. I've been coming to Grand Bazaar for more years than I care to remember, having taken a break for ten -- okay twenty -- years. Can't put my finger on why, perhaps I'm not as interested as I used to be. While the market is vibrant and busy, it's not as it was. Perhaps not as much diversity in wares. (I used to get a lot of pottery, art and vintage jewelry.) Back in the day, my friends and I would go to the East Village and buy funky old fur jackets for a song. I kind of had that in the back of my mind coming here. (There are many vintage coat vendors.) But prices have risen considerably. (What hasn't?!) The market is open Sundays, year 'round. Despite buying nothing, I know I'll be back. (Maybe coats get cheaper when it's warmer.) Plus, I like strolling around on the upper westside, which has a different flavor than the eastside, where I live.
