If the vastness of Balady is overwhelming, or if you simply prefer a more intimate shopping experience, head to nearby Bay Root Meats. This bodega-sized market is a great option if you’re making something that requires a bit of collaboration with your meat purveyor. You can come here with an agenda, or you can simply browse and end up leaving with several bags of treats and ingredients you didn’t know you needed, like jars of pickled radish and wreaths of fluffy, sesame-studded bread. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the store is especially well-organized.
