Treat Dad to a day of manly indulgences by choosing a gift from provisions.

We have so many varieties of gifts for Dad like our

If you Dad is a lover of beer, another great gift idea is the Six Pack Tote. It is perfect for Dad to fill with beer to take to the beach, park, or party.  One of their best qualities is that they can insulate beer and keep beverages icy cold. And we are sure your father will welcome those looks of envy and admiration.

Even filling them with our STONEHOUSE OLIVE OILS, such as our DIPPING OIL, would make a splendid gift! The dipping oil makes a PERFECT marinade on meat, fish, or veggies and will kick off Dad’s summer in style.

I must admit… I am a sucker for shows like the Biggest Loser or for those occasions when Dr. Oz is on Oprah because they tell a great story and focus on how good-health changes lives drastically for the better. This might be the first upcoming generation where American children are  living less healthy lives than their parents. This issue goes beyond obesity (which is a major issue).

My brother is 180 lbs and 6 ft 3- He goes to a fast food restaurant for breakfast every Monday morning and orders the crappiest food for ones body that you can imagine. I give him a look of disgust and he tells me that “his metabolism is fast and he doesn’t have weight issues, so why should  he care?” He used to eat fast food all of the time, but in an attempt to try and get “buff,” he cut all the fast food out of his diet and he admits to feeling a big difference in how his body felt.  He had more energy, for one thing, and his skin looked better.

I’m telling you folks, even a handsome, slender man like my brother needs to open his eyes and perhaps take a step into provisions and check out our NEW, AMAZING SELECTION of GNOSIS SUPERFOODS! (pronounced no-sis)

(Pictured: My little brother. Told ya he was handsome!)

BEEKMAN STREET WHERE provisions is now located! Lots has changed!

Want something REALLY local?… South Street is Barbara G. Mensch’s evocative tribute to the lost world of Lower Manhattan’s Fulton Fish Market. This book gives great insight into how life used to be down by NYC Historical South Street Seaport and Brooklyn Bridge. As a young photographer in the early 1980s, Barbara Mensch bonded with this particular group of “authentic New Yorkers,” becoming a confidante for their life stories, which were often filled with hardship, mystery, and misadventures. These striking photographs capture the unique personality and fierce secrecy of their vibrant working-class culture.

SIGNED COPIES ARE SOLD AT provisions!!!!

Pictured back when it was the Fish Market. I remember the days the Fish Market was down here. Maybe not the days pictured here…. but people still ask for the Fish Market. Someone just came in today asking if it still exists down here.

These photographs are Barbara Mensch’s tribute to the lost world of Lower Manhattan’s Fulton Fish Market. For more than a century, a tightly knit community of workingmen, many of them immigrants or children of immigrants, thrived in their nocturnal jobs as fishmongers under the base of the Brooklyn Bridge.  Resistant to government regulations and corporate encroachment these men worked in a closed, internally-policed world that was deeply hostile to outsiders.

Many of the images were taken in 1979-1983, a time of profound change in the political and economic landscape of Lower Manhattan. The waterfront below the Brooklyn Bridge was targeted for economic revival, spurred by the demolition of important locales in the fish market, existing piers, working storefronts, saloons and hotels to make room for new commercial spaces, including a shopping mall.

New Bamboo Pots are in at provisions!!

You don’t need a yard to grow a green thumb. This bamboo pail contains what one needs to start a mini-garden in nearly any space. According to Potting Shed’s website “The components of our  bamboo grow pots unite contemporary design with good stewardship of the earth’s resources. Modular in purpose, the lacquered lid elegantly becomes the drainage saucer for the leak-proof grow pot.”

They are Certified Organic!

Once they’ve grown, you will be able to enjoy either lovely smelling lavender or an herb garden of basil, parsley and garlic chives and cultivating them is half the fun. They are made in the USA.

Want your taste buds to experience unique flavors of chocolate? Come to provisions…

BREAD & CHOCOLATE Bar is just one of the many unique Theo Chocolate Bars we carry. Theo calls this bar one of their “Fantasy Flavors.” Other Fantasy Flavor’s made by Theo that provisions carries are FIG AND FENNEL and HAZELNUT CRUNCH.

And quite frankly, who wouldn’t want to try these Fantasy Flavors?? The BREAD AND CHOCOLATE is described as “an innovative twist on a traditional pairing, featuring dark chocolate with buttery, toasted artisan breadcrumbs and the perfect amount of salt.” My response… “Uhhh, YUM!”

Even their “classic collection” of flavors are exciting! Chile, Mint, and Cherry Almond, OH MY! Many of these chocolate bars are vegan, dairy free, gluten free, and soy free while still maintaining an AMAZING TASTE!
