Food Tourism in NYC
Going to NYC in early November. I already have most of my eating plans nailed down.
I want to know what I should do/see in NYC in relation to food other than eating it. What specialty shops/markets should I visit ? (ie. cheese shops, oil shops, cookware shops, ethnic food stores)
Any food related walking tours recommended?
Im going to the James Beard Foundation to look around. Is it worth it?
Can anyone tell me a nice wine shop to stop in for a glass of wine and small bite to eat while exploring the city. I will be all over Manhattan walking around, so any location is fine. (Home base is Midtown East)
Much thanks to my fellow hounders.

IIRC, there is a recent thread on wine bars in Manhattan which you might find useful...
I particularly like Terroir and Il Posto Accanto and 'ino and 'inoteca on Rivington St.

Note: Penzey's spices in Grand Central Terminal has closedMy list of great NYC or made in NYC food stuffs to take home:
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/810777#6864966I can't think of any wine stores that have food (maybe some free cheese/bread, very simple) but many have tastings. Is a proper wine bar OK? Or are you only considering retail stores?
For food walking tours, Manhattan is a great place for those:

http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/780317#6489044You can take the LIRR from Penn Station to Flushing in about 20 minutes. More expensive than the subway but worth it.
If you want to stay in Manhattan, try scoopG's self guided Chinatown tour:
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/711661#5661425What about an East Village crawl?

Years ago we took a Foods of New York walking and tasting tour, which we loved. We did the original Greenwich village tour, which was a great intro to NY for us. The neighborhood has changed a bit but we still go back to Bleeker St whenever we are in New York for Prosciutto balls at Faicco's. If you go on that tour, stop by Amy's Bread afterward for my favorite chocolate cake. The tour leader used to give out a list of great shops (fresh yogurt place, bread shop) and restaurants in the village and soho but I don't know if they still do that. Enjoy!
