New York Dreaming

Dean & DeLuca Opens in Singers

Friday, 29 Jun 2012

Orchard Central? Not the liveliest of places, but with uber chic Dean & DeLuca‘s opening last week, this mall might just perk up.

This celeb fave has (finally) hit town, and whether you’re a gourmet foodie, brunch lover, homesick New Yorker, or Gossip Girl fan, this store will tickle your tastebuds for sure.

The clever grocer has sourced the local best and is retailing them under one roof – get coffee beans from Papa Palheta and buy artisanal breads from big names like Baker & Cook, Maison Kayser, and The Bread Project alongside Dean & DeLuca’s in-house bakery.

Or if you’re anything like us, you’ll be standing (mouth agape) at the cheese and charcuterie counter, salivating at the 30+ available cheeses.

The store also has some hard-to-find herbs and spices, olive oils, pasta sauces, condiments… stocking your pantry? Here’s your best bet. As a sweet bonus, Dean & DeLuca takes the art of packaging very seriously. Two thumbs up!

If all that shopping’s getting you hungry, stop by the café for some all-day breakfast. From American-style flapjacks with fresh berries to poached eggs with jamón ibérico, it’ll take a whole lot of discipline to walk away without treating yourself to some indulgent nosh here.
