I have been going to Dean & Deluca since it was housed in its previous location in Soho. This is a magical gourmet store that also caries a wonderful selection of cooking tool and one of the best spice selections in the city. Their gourmet chocolate selection is also excellent as are their cheeses and baked goods (best ginger cookies in the city). I find their prepared foods a bit underwhelming, but you have to at least stop in to this place. Good place to find gifts for kitchen hobbiests, too.
