The main draw to Gingham Market’s delightful storefront on Madison Avenue in Lakewood is the grab-and-go market, which features freshly made salads, sandwiches, quiches, soups, scones and personal cheese plates. The menu changes daily and is updated on the market’s social media platforms. Situated on the western side of the city, Gingham also features a beautiful assortment of artisanal goods, as well as national and international items and a great selection of beer and wine.
THREE THINGS TO SAMPLE:
TRY THE SOUP: Even if it’s a combo that is unusual, you can never go wrong with selecting one of Gingham’s incredible daily soup offerings, which include traditional favorites like chicken noodle and seasonal veggies such as spring pea or chilled gazpacho.
TGIF: Every Friday, you’ll find an interesting hot sandwich made to order, think turkey or beet reubens, meatloaf sandwiches or a Cubano. Note: Each day of the week features four different sandwiches and those change on a monthly basis, so the four sandwiches on Tuesday will be featured every Tuesday in that month.
SWEET TREAT: You have to indulge in either the chocolate chip pecan cookie — the market’s most popular with just the right ratio of crispy to chewy, or one of the seasonal quick breads, which includes two mini slices that are fan favorites. This summer, they’ll feature either peach or pear and apple in the fall.
