WHY All manner of prepared dishes, including zaftig home-baked breads.

WHAT Attached to Tashkent Produce is a tiny sliver of a kitchen where babushkas cook all day, producing fabulous takeout borscht, stuffed cabbage, lamb stew, baked chicken with pilaf and more from an ever-changing roster of homey goodies. Check the freezer for frozen dumplings and the deli case for a wonderful array of buffet-worthy sausages, cured fish and cheese. You may never cook again.

WHO Mostly Russian mamas who’d rather get a manicure than cook.
