NYC restaurant markets make holiday shopping easy

A market is a natural extension for a restaurant, which has already done the legwork on sourcing and making goods. Here are recent openings that also feature in-house marketplaces, where you can pick up a unique gift this holiday, or stock your own pantry.

 

ITALIAN

LaRina Pastificio e Vino

Like the fresh, house-made buckwheat conchiglie at this new Italian spot from chef Silvia Barban? You can buy it and other pastas at the restaurant’s retail counter, along with imported specialty food products such as extra virgin olive oils, aged balsamic vinegars, olives and breadsticks. Customize a holiday gift bag for $75. 387 Myrtle Ave., Fort Greene, 718-852-0001, larinabk.com
