Ready, set, grill


It’s outdoor grilling season, so hit the East Village to stock up for backyard cookouts.

Start at AllSpice to pick out some pre-mixed seasonings like the rich and smoky Butcher’s Blend and the bright Lemon Pepper Blend. Or create your own from an array of individual spices.

Pop in to Kitchen Collage to upgrade your gadgets. The shop stocks all kinds of grilling gear to help you cut, sear and serve with style.

You can even keep cooking after dark. Make the most of a campfire with help from Stoked, which sells comfy chairs, blankets and all the other camping essentials — except marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers.
