Wonder what the East Village looked like in the earlier decades? Then wander into this legendary herb place to find all your favorite concoctions. With store-labeled bottles on cluttered shelves, you’ll find everything you need and a lot you don’t need but suddenly must have. Not sure what to buy? Just combine their delicious coffee with an all-natural brownie at their organic bar. Try their African Formula Biopure Therapeutic Muscle Fa-tigue Oil after a tiresome workout. Or take advantage of their Weleda Almond Face Mask to get rid of tired skin. You can also search for hard-to-find spices before you experiment with the complicated Bobby Flay recipe you’ve been dying to try.
Insider Tip: Plan ahead; the café is open later than the herb store.
