When the larder is bare

GOODS & SERVICES • FOUND Shop

BKLYN Larder, an exemplary cheese-and-provisions shop on Flatbush Ave., was founded by the owners of Franny’s, the beloved Prospect Heights pizzeria... that Brooklynites haven’t stopped mourning since its closure in 2017. At risk of shuttering in that year too, BKLYN Larder managed to survive because of Mandy Wynn, a local resident who took over the business and continues to run it today. 

Inside, find a broad range of cheeses, from herby house-marinated feta to pungent French Roquefort to caramel-y Dutch goat gouda, as well as charcuterie, like Olympia Provisions salami and Casella’s prosciutto. I often walk there to buy my favorite French butter and local yogurt, but the business isn’t just for ingredient nerds. The shop also carries excellent prepared foods like sandwiches, sweets, grazing boards, and house-made gelato — all with a side of neighborly enthusiasm. –Phoebe Fry
