GOURMET FOODS | Talbott & Arding
This is a cheese and gourmet food shop run by chef Mona Talbott, who worked at Chez Panisse and has written two cookbooks. They are showcasing the region with items like their house-made preserves, made using traditional small-batch methods with fruit and vegetables sourced from family farms in the Hudson Valley.
"They have a selection of charcuterie and items to go that I’m particularly enthusiastic about."
FED Pro > Chef Devon Gilroy of The Corner
"This the perfect place to stop for a snack or a sweet treat. They have prepared foods, sandwiches and the tastiest hand-pies. Their house-made cookies are also my favorite, especially the coconut macaroons. If they are serving chocolate cake make sure to get a big fat slice. Often I’ll get a cup of their bouillon instead of coffee."

"They have the best breakfast around, without a doubt. We love their home-made bialy."
FED Pros > Chef Nick and Sarah Suarez of Gaskins
"I like their breads and they do great sandwiches too. Sandwiches are my favorite food, since I'm from New Jersey and I really like their pork belly sandwich with pickled onions and nice greens. The chef really gets the whole acidity, mayo - balancing it out. Simple, but well done.
