Still getting to know the new 'hood. So far I've found two gems, both from the same owner. Brown is a little cafe on Hester between Ludlow and Essex. Very nice. I am already sure this will become my regular breakfast / lunch spot. And then right next door is Orange, a small market which you can also reserve for private parties (their third business, Green, is a catering company.) I had been bemoaning the lack of quality food shopping down here, but Orange makes it all better. And it's all the more surprising given it's tiny size. But they literally have everything I need. Very european. Not many products, but they are all the best. Plus breads, cheese, meats (great prosciutto, yum) and a small selection of vegetables. Okay, sure, it's expensive, but so worth it. Very very nice.
