Gourmet Garage

SoHo & Chinatown


This foodie-forward supermarket has been a New York institution for over 25 years. Originally a wholesale supplier to restaurants, it sells great produce and a range of freshly prepared foods: rotisserie chicken, sandwiches, sushi, salads and soups such as French lentil, chicken and dumpling, and Thai chicken curry. Grab something here for an alfresco lunch on your tour of NYC.

There's a small dining area upstairs and four other locations around Manhattan.
