Despaña...mi amor.

I'm sure you've been to the original store in Jackson Heights, Ed. I never made the journey, but am LOVING the new Soho store.

I went over after work last night in hopes that they'd be open. For the record, I don't want to buy Spanish cheeses anywhere else ever again. The Mahon and Manchego I bought were so fresh!!!!!!!!! And the man at the checkout counter even gave me a container of membrillo (quince paste - Ed, I know you know) for free because I bought so much stuff.

Ed, will you please review the new store on your site - the merch, the bocadillos, etc? I figure you have to be in favor of this, and I want them to get lots of business and always be there. Thanks (this is fun). Next time I'll take a picture. Despaña - 408 Broome Street (just east of Lafayette). T: 212-219-5050 Hours: M-S 11-8, Sun 11-5.
