[QUOTE=penguinbar;10103321]That's Myers of Keswick http://www.myersofkeswick.com/

I like Economy Candy Better
http://economycandy.com/

If you are in or near NYC the Butcher Block in Sunnyside has a great selection as well.[/

It wasn't Keswick's I was referring to, have never heard of it, BUT it looks amazing. Thanks for opening my eyes to this little gem, will try and get there soon. The one I had gone to was next to A Salt and Battery chip shop and Tea and Sympathy down in Greenwich Village but it was nowhere near as good as Keswick's looks!
:thumbsup:

Myers of Keswick's is just around the corner from A Salt and Battery. I didn't know there was another shop there!

That cranberry Wensleydale is foul. Who in the world likes it? I thought it was just a Christmas aberration back in England, but a few years before we left it was appearing year-round in the cheese section at my little local Co-op. :thumbdown:

What a pain to hear the prices are high at the shop. The food they sell at a booth at one of these "Irish" festivals is moderately expensive, but I thought that was just the way of these occasions. Oh well.

The shop is sandwiched between the chippy and the tea shop. They don't have a huge range but the store itself reminds me of the one in Open All Hours, worth popping in if you are passing. I told my husband about Myers of Keswick's he then proceeded to spend 20 mins on their website drooling over their pies :D

It's a nice atmospheric little place! I always pop in for a Double Decker after I've finished my chips!

Yes, thank heavens for Gary's, although he was out of them for a while. It's our Friday night stop for a Double Decker and Maltesers while everyone else is stocking up on booze!

I normally go to the Bernardsville store...but I noticed his stocks are getting rather low. He does have plenty of 1.75 ltr bottles of Grand Marnier for just over $60. :thumbsup:

It's my friends husband that supplies Gary's and other places with all the goodies, I'll have to be having words on behalf of the expat community ;)
