Yesterday and today, the New Amsterdam Market held their Valentine’s Gift Shop & Soda Fountain in an historic, wood-beamed warehouse space downtown by the South Street Seaport. With the outdoor market season several months away, this was kind of a reunion for some of the usual vendors. It was really great to see everyone again and even more wonderful to check out all the delicious goodies that were for sale.
The market was set up in this beautiful, old space near the seaport.
Tinsel Trading Company‘s beautiful cards and boxes
Liz of Liddabit Sweets with her amazing display
Yum! Look at this incredible chocolate cake
Candy bars and Caramels for your sweetheart!
What about picking up a bag of Spicy Cashews from Nuts+Nuts?
Or these colorful Macarons from Vallery of Jaune NYC
I selected a Rose & Orange Water one with its delicate, floral taste
Honey for your Honey? From Bees’ Needs
Third Rail Coffee to brew up a something special
To treat myself, I picked up a jar of Blood Orange Marmalade from Anarchy in a Jar
If I had a sweetheart this year, I would have picked up some of this for him.
Or maybe I would have treated him to Taza Chocolate
Mast Brothers delicious chocolate is another tempting option
I love their packaging, too.
I hope that someone picked up these beautiful sweets from Pie Corps for their sweet
Or maybe gathered a few of their hand pies to pack up for a picnic
Along with some of this bright, cheerful fruit from Flying Fox Fruiterer
Perhaps grabbing one of P&H Soda Co.‘s seasonal syrup flavors to put in a hamper
Look at this list of soda selections to sample
With Anton of P&H mixing each one by hand
I tried the Goat’s Cheese Ice Cream with Quince Syrup – sweet, creamy and refreshing
I could also have opted for an old-fashioned Egg Cream using their incredible Chocolate Syrup
Of course, I also treated myself to a scoop of the fabulous Ri-cuddle Me (ricotta, orange, and cinnamon) and I’m Slightly Bitter (semi-sweet chocolate) ice creams from my favorite The Bent Spoon.
Although it was difficult to choose, as all the flavors were fantastic
And, then there were all these pints to pick from to take with me
With all these great things at the market, how could I not gather up some of them to bring home with me?
Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
Buon appetito!
