For : Indian Markets in NYC

April 16, 2002

--walk East on 28th Street and you'll hit a " little india " past park ave--I

can't remember if the awesome store I went to is on madison or 3rd, but it's

just north of 28th on the east side of the avenue--fantastic stuff like multiple

brands of frozen coconut meat...

I do need to find some good Asian and Indian markets. (Wouldn't mind

browsing through a Polynesian market too, but I don't know that I've ever

seen one.) There are plenty in Manhattan, but Manhattan's a pretty big

place, and I live in an overwhelmingly Hispanic neighborhood. (There's a

small African presence, but the stores I've wandered into don't seem to

have much in the way of African foods (no good tamarind paste, for example)

and the little Jamaican hole-in-the-wall restaurant that made the most

delicious jerked chicken, curried goat and whatnot I've ever tasted

unfortunately changed management and turned to crap. Actually, it's

probably just as well -- I'd have eaten three meals a day if they'd

stayed. <g>)

Say, have you ever tried Kara coconut cream? It comes in little cardboard

boxes, which makes me wonder whether it's been irradiated, but it's

supposed to be peerless. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any --

or determine whether the rumor that all foods in those cardboard boxes have

been irradiated. (Pomi?)

>Maybe there's something to be said about our little " flyover " cities... :-)

Well, you can get just about anything in NYC, but not always all in the

same place. <g>
