DESTINATION SANDWICH - KALUSTYAN’S

Thanks to Nick for the incredible recommendation. And a special thanks to Ahmed at Kalustyan’s for his kindness and lovely conversation; this beautiful human works one day a week (Sundays) and we were lucky to have spent an afternoon with him. Do yourself a favor...visit this deli, eat this sandwich, hang out with Ahmed on a Sunday.

Turkish Delight from Kalustyan's

I may take for granted that while living in New York, I can find almost any food on any old regular day, no matter the time. I do just that by stopping to buy turkish delight, a sugary gummy confectionary often studded with nuts and flavored with rosewater, in the evening at my local bodega-turned-grocery-store.  Somehow the eastern European owners stock it, tucked away in bins next to cheerios and vitamin water. My Bulgarian sister-in-law whom grew up eating Turkish delight marvels at its prevalence in the city, from my neighborhood all the way to Brighton Beach, because elsewhere you've got to go looking. I mistakenly forget it's not normal to eat candy of the world whenever you're feeling the sweet tooth. The nougat ones, milky white and studded with pistachios, are my best friend.   But the truth is that for the best selection of Turkish delight and almost anything else you've longed to try and cook with, there is no other place to look than Kalustyan's in Murray Hill,the Middle Eastern and Indian speciality food and spice emporium operating in Manhattan for forty years. Or as it's colloquially known, Curry Hill, because of all the indian restaurants that dot that section of Lexington Avenue. I first came across Kalustyan's in the back of a cookbook with instructions on just how to find what you're looking for when the local grocery store doesn't even stock Goya beans.  Since then, it's been a yearly pilgrimage spot for me to pick up hard to find dried beans, a beloved prepared spice mix of Ras-Al-Hanout among the other world food items for my kitchen. Not to mention the copious amounts of Turkish delight which is bountiful and the bane of my dentist. Come to Kalustyan's to try Turkish delight but definitely stay to try grape leaves or hummus at the cafe, while stocking up on their own brand name of spices. -- Kalustyan's 123 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10016
