Despaña

Although when visiting New York, you don't expect to rush to a Spanish store, I think it's worth mentioning this gourmet coffee shop called "Despaña." The first thing you see when you enter is a deli showcasing a fantastic selection of sausages, hams, and cheeses. You can walk in with a bottle of wine from home, buy food from the deli, and eat at the tables with stools in the background. At the door of the store, and advertised on a blackboards is the Iberian ham, which had been banned in the US for years and began to imported again last November. They also sell a variety of caned, bottled, or boxed goods such as nougat, asparagus, oils, wine, and chocolates.
