If money is no object, Dean & Deluca is a market one can shop the day away at. However, for those of us with a budget to watch or an inability to spend close to $50 on a few simple ingredients, Dean & Deluca is a store for window shopping of the food kind.
Still, minor splurges can be made here. The Busy Bee cake is delicious and reasonably priced and my friend raves about their coffee (I believe I'm one of the few inhabitants of NYC who's never even had a sip of coffee). Also, I've paged through Dean & Deluca's cookbook and it seems to be chock full of great recipes so if you're in the mood to try some new meals in the kitchen I'd suggest picking it up.
