DIY - Dean and Deluca

I am guessing that native New Yorkers are already completely in the know about Dean and Deluca, but in the unlikely event that you haven't stumbled across it, or are a tourist like me, then Voila! Welcome to the most delectable deli I have been to in an age.

Although we stayed in a hotel this time, in a previous trip to NY we stayed in an apartment in Little Italy and how do I wish I had know about D&D then. It's the perfect place for either a quick pit stop or to pick up supplies for your own 5 star breakfast in.

The flagship store is to be found in SoHo, but there are 14 stores in total across the US. The mother ship is a buzzing hub of various food stations which you can pick and choose from including loads of things that are perfect for breakfast (the bakery section and take out coffee are a must). There is also a sushi counter and deli laden with New York delights.

If you can't wait until you get your loot home, then you can eat European style standing up at one of the counters at the entrance.

Although it isn't as unique as my London favourite Ottolenghi, stocking up there for a weekend Breakfast in bed would be a major treat. I haven't been this excited about food shopping since I discovered Wholefoods!
