Astor Wines & Spirits
The city's serious-but-democratic wine shop since 1946, housed in the landmark De Vinne Press Building. Deep sake and low-intervention sections, and staff who ask what you're eating, not what you'll spend.
Order: Tell a floor clerk your dinner and a $20 cap — they will beat whatever you would have picked; check the always-on sale wall first.

Faicco's Italian Specialties
Pork store on Bleecker since 1900 — house sopressata hanging over the counter, rice balls in the case, and one of the best Italian heroes in Manhattan.
Order: The Italian Special hero with fresh mozzarella, plus a stick of house-made dry sopressata for the road.

Murray's Cheese
New York's flagship cheese shop since 1940, with its own aging caves under Bleecker Street. The mongers will let you taste through the counter before you commit.
Order: Cave-aged Annelies or Greensward, plus a hunk of their fresh mozzarella; ask the monger to build you a $25 picnic board.

Russ & Daughters
The appetizing store — smoked fish, herring, and caviar sold from the same Houston Street counter since 1914, fourth generation of the same family. The by-the-pound fish is expensive and worth every cent.
Order: A quarter pound of Gaspe Nova sliced paper-thin, plus scallion cream cheese and a bagel to build at home; take a paper ticket and wait your turn.

Union Square Greenmarket
The mothership of NYC greenmarkets since 1976 — up to 140 regional farms, and the market half the city's chefs shop at. Go early on Saturday and watch the restaurant carts roll through.
Order: Whatever is peaking — August means Jersey tomatoes and stone fruit; hit Hawthorne Valley for bread and Martin's for pretzels.
