Foragers: Fancy Food Market for Dumbo-ites

January 23, 2006, NY Magazine — No matter what Brooklyn real-estate agents say, a neighborhood doesn’t officially happen until it gets its own top-notch fancy-food emporium: What was South Williamsburg, after all, before Marlow & Sons, Park Slope before Blue Apron, or Cobble Hill before Tuller Premium Foods? Now, with Foragers Market, a spacious new shop run by Anna Castellani, the owner of the Dumbo General Store, and her three artist partners, Dumbo has a food fetishist’s paradise to call its own. You’ll find everything from June Taylor jams to Benedetto Cavalieri pastas on the artfully stocked shelves, and there are eye-catching departments for meat and poultry, charcuterie, seafood, and prepared foods. Not to mention 150 cheeses. 56 Adams St., at Front St., Dumbo, Brooklyn; 718-801-8400.

Cobble Hill was fine before Tuller. So overpriced! You can do well with Caputo’s, Sahadi’s, the French deli on the park, Esposito’s, Mazzola Bakery, etc.
I still prefer Bierkraft to Blue Apron.
Wasn’t this place supposed to be like an indoor farmers’ market? Instead there’s a little pile of rotting fruit up front, and the rest of the store looks half empty. Grocery shopping hasn’t been this fancy since the siege of Vilnius.

Terribly expensive! One scallion bunch for $2! Outrageous!!!
Speaking of fancy foods… anyone have an update on the joint going in on Lafayette & Grand? Haven’t walked by in a while.
I’ll definitely give it a try. It might be a bit of a hike for me from Brooklyn Heights, but I’m always ready and willing to go out of my way for good charcuterie! Hams and sausages beware, I will find you and I will eat you!
Park Slope wasn’t entirely deprived before Blue Apron. There was Beerkraft, and not to be forgotten, the lovely people who run Divine Taste.
way too expensive, even for dumbo
