Photo for Wednesday, July 8th, 2009
New York City, with real estate precious, has many smaller stores and marts on it city blocks instead of supermarkets. We came across a small grocery store that specializes in Indian spices called Dual Speciality in the East Village neighborhood. Unfortunately, you can't smell the place just by looking at the photo, but it is a wonderful place to step into because of the effect the spices' aroma have on you. For me, it reminded me homes where Indian food is cooked. It can be a kinesthetic experience too, as you can walk around, pick up packed bags of, say, Paprika, and examine them with your senses.
Why this for the Daily Photo? Great experience walking in the store. Also, this store's tiny size but prominent promotion of its online store reminded me of IBM commercials where tiny Jelly store in England sold around the world.
