Kalustyan's If I could pick only one store in the world to shop for spices and condiments, this would be it. I have been coming here since I was 4 years old. If you're going for the first time, give yourself a couple of hours to peruse the aisles in peace.

I have found so many curious items to decorate my table with at this shop. They have great plates, place mats and all kinds of giftable items. It's located in the heart of SoHo, so give yourself a bit of time to stroll around the neighborhood.
