Savor the Scene: Where to Find Local Market Delights for Foodies | Laffey Real Estate

If eating fuels your passion as well as your life, there's a good chance that you're a foodie. Fortunately, Long Island has a wide range of markets, bakeries, and specialty shops to explore in search of your next taste sensation. Start with these favorite spots recommended by our real estate agents.

  • Marie Blachère - 550 Middle Neck Road, Great Neck, NY 11023
    Marie Blachère may be down the street from Great Neck homes for sale, but it's so authentic that you'll be speaking with an accent by the time you leave. Founded in Provence, France, by Bernard Blachère and named for his beloved daughter, the bakery uses 100 percent French flour and French butter sourced from Normandy. Small tarts, along with breads and puff pastries, are included in a buy three, get one free special. Hours are 7:30 a.m. - 6 p.m. daily.

  • Lazar's Chocolate - 350 Wheatley Plaza, Greenvale, NY 11548
    More than 70 years ago, family patriarch David Lazar introduced his upscale Swiss-style chocolates to Manhattan. His legacy lives on as the community around Roslyn homes for sale continues to enjoy goodies from Lazar's Chocolate. Today, David's son Rich holds the reins of the business with the able assistance of his own sons, Marc and Jeff. All three remain hands-on with the chocolate-making by dipping and approving each piece that goes out for sale. Gift baskets and platters make a great surprise for that chocoholic friend or family member. Lazar's Chocolate is open 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. every day but Sunday, when hours are 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.

  • Provisions Market - 108 South St., Oyster Bay, NY 11771
    Turn a picnic into a four-star dining experience with help from Provisions Market, just minutes from Oyster Bay homes for sale. Fill your basket with sandwiches and sides from their prepared foods counter or create your own charcuterie board with ingredients from Provisions Bread & Cheese, the store-within-the-store. Finish with luscious baked goods such as bread pudding, French macarons, or chocolate chip cookies. Contact Provisions to learn how you can host an elegant dinner party for up to 12 guests without doing any of the work. Hours are 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. daily.

  • Uncle Giuseppe's Marketplace - 364 Port Washington Blvd., Port Washington, NY 11050
    Thanks to Uncle Giuseppe's Marketplace, you don't have to be Italian to dine on traditional favorites of that country's iconic cuisine. Uncle G's combines the convenience of full-service supermarkets with the features of old-school neighborhood markets in a location that's not far from Port Washington homes for sale. In addition to prepared dishes using classic Italian recipes, the deli includes Olive and Antipasto Bars so you can mix and match to your heart's content. The star of the cheese department is Uncle G's signature mozzarella, made with a machine imported directly from Italy. Uncle G's is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. - 8:30 p.m.

  • Fresh Fin Gourmet - 520 Main St., Westbury, NY 11590
    One of the benefits of Westbury homes for sale is proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and fresh seafood. One Long Island family chose to share their love of seafood by opening Fresh Fin Gourmet, a market offering the highest quality seafood. Pick up some Scottish salmon, Chilean sea bass, wild tuna, shrimp, and more for backyard barbecues and other summer entertaining. Fresh Fin Gourmet is open weekdays from 7 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Wow family and friends with amazing gourmet food at the housewarming party celebrating your new Long Island home. Contact us for all your real estate needs.
