Not the same Balducci's as the legendary Village gourmet shop, this is the new version, owned and operated by the Sutton Group. Some things remain the same. Here you will find fresh produce, high-quality cuts of meat and other gourmet items and prepared foods. Not as eccentric as the old Balducci's, but what it lacks in family-style pasta dishes it makes up for with awesome sandwiches and side dishes.

This very unique wine store does not focus on bottles from France, Spain or even California. Here, the one and only regional specialty is New York wines. Yeah, that's right.
