My New Favorite Pickles

I’m really digging the epicurean finds at the new West Village shop Gardens. It’s the kind of trendy gardening store I like: low on compost, big on food you don’t have to harvest yourself. I especially love the selection of Rick’s Picks pickled veggies: okra in smoked paprika, beets with rosemary, and, my fave, pickle spears scented with cumin. Next to try? Soy-wasabi brined green beans. Mmmm… soy.
