Brooklyn Fare was an unexpected hit in Gotham's food world: The stainless-steel chef's counter in the back of a Downtown Brooklyn grocery was the oddball setting for Cesar Ramirez's exquisite food.

With 130 stores and counting, Gregory & Benson has the largest footprint of independently owned grocery stores in the metro New York City area. Here you can shop for all your grocery and household needs in one trip, and although the prices aren’t exceptional, the shop carries hard-to-find spices, sauces and other ingredients.

This mom-and-pop market has been a one-stop shop for organic and natural foods, home products and responsibly-sourced produce since 1976. Gothamites praise the store's quality from the temperature-controlled bulk food section to the friendly and knowledgeable staff.
