[@lillyandrews8557]

Thank you,thank you for listening to my suggestion, enjoyed seeing the shopping, proud trini

[@TasteofTrini]

Lilly andrews You're so very welcome! Thank you for suggesting to do this video, happy you enjoyed!

[@raniqueblackman8096]

Taste of Trini hello dear my grandparents were from Trinidad grandmother Port of Spain Grandfather St. Croix

[@sandraholder1010]

I miss this place. Shopped there for years. Getting homesick. I am in Trinidad now 3 years. This just made my day.my favorite shopping spot too.prices are good also. Love your channel.

[@KVRampersad]

Each of these markets are 1 block of each other...everything is so close...its great to be able to get our stuff so easy and quick!

[@TasteofTrini]

Kevin Rampersad Lol some are not even a block apart. Didn't realize how many markets we have until I did this video 🤔

[@tonyezekiel4885]

Outstanding video and just enough explanation about the various stores. Like some of your viewers here, I once lived on Liberty Ave. It brought back so many memories seeing Liberty and Lefferts. Thank you so much for doing this, you have certainly made my day.

[@anilramnauth4531]

Beautiful video- you highlighted all the important shopping places on Liberty Avenue for the West Indies and other communities...

[@roymoore8891]

That's my favorite shopping places. Little Guyana. Thank you my dear. ❤

[@sharinasingh5180]

After seeing you walk along Liberty Ave in Queens NewYork Made me miss New York. I have not been to the Queens in 39 years it’s time to visit my family You guys have everything unlike us in Canada. Seeing this is beautiful and I will be in Queens soon. Thank you it’s memory lane for me.

[@Islandash]

I haven't been to Liberty Ave in years. I live those markets. Thanks for taking us shopping with you.

[@TasteofTrini]

Islandash happy you enjoyed going shopping with me😉

[@marissabaldeosingh7412]

i miss here, i usually stay right on liberty when i visit NYC ....looking forward to seeing more vids

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

I really enjoy going to Liberty when I am in New York. Always walk there with my grandmother, and love getting to see all it has to offer. I really enjoyed this video. And yes, people are always trying to give you those astrology cards lol!

[@TasteofTrini]

Matthew's Guyanese Cooking Nice! Happy you enjoyed the video. Haha, there's one on every block but I take it most of the times because they're standing there in the cold until they reach their quota.

[@nailafaria7497]

I haven't been to New York in years, especially in Liberty Ave. It was one of my favorite places to go since childhood. Thanks for sharing this!

[@lisamaharaj866]

Hey Reshmi, Thank you for sharing, I remembered going to liberty my first time in New York with my uncle, my kids were small at that time and they didn't want American food, they only wanted doubles to eat so my uncle took us to liberty. I stopped your video half way through and called my uncle in New York, He was happy I called and chatted with him, after which I continued with your video and I must say I'm very impressed with the fresh markets, the next time I visit New York (which should be in a few months) I would cooked my uncle a nice Trini meal cos he buys a lot of his meals... you have a gr8 day and again! I really enjoyed your post...

[@TasteofTrini]

lisa maharaj Awwww, happy to bring back memories. Now you can find everything and anything from T&T with the exception of a few minor things probably. That's nice, he will enjoy a nice home-cooked meal ☺ Have a great day! Thank you for watching!

[@karminiparsan4440]

looking at this market I wonder why people would even want things from home..I think its just knowing that it is from Trinidad 😀😀 you have everything

[@TasteofTrini]

Karmini Parsan So true. I only bring back Bhagi, because we don't always get the nice young Bhagi.

[@danielleduverney6741]

No it that we are familiar with the products that we are acustomed to that make our food taste good ,not foreign things what we don,t know nothing about Trini

[@kathrynwhitehead6811]

I enjoyed this video.I visited liberty avenue years ago and it was on the hunt for a good tasting roti.I was so homesick then,having just migrated to the U.S.A. I felt I was in heaven. I still have that feeling whenever I go to a Trinidad roti shop in the U.S. Roots can be a very strong tie to one's culture and conditioning. As a child my Dad would take me to the Arima market every Saturday morning,i was mesmerized by the colors and scents,true enough not pleasant at times,but there was something about fresh vegetables and spices. Thank You Taste of Trini.

[@TasteofTrini]

Kathryn Whitehead That's the same feeling I get. I feel like I'm still home because the atmosphere is just like being home. Thank you for watching!

[@marilyn2780]

You're a real Trini. Thank you for sharing our Trini culture with the world . I believe there are lots of cultures similar to ours. We are more alike than different.

[@LazyCookPete]

There are so many amazing markets on Liberty Avenue, and the produce is excellent. I think I'd be stuck for choice. A couple of familiar places there for me. Thanks so much for taking us shopping with you!

[@TasteofTrini]

Pete Thomas Yes, you saw it for yourself. I have so many markets to shop at. Thanks for watching!

[@nazreenali4366]

My last visit to liberty avenue on my last trip to the USA, was in 2001..thanks for the trip down memory lane girl, I still remember it the way it is now.. They have everything down there but some people too lazy to cook.. When they come here or tanty going up to Queen's, they ask for this same thing you showing us..

[@Ninja-rp4gx]

I miss Trinidad food. Friends from Trinidad moved to New York. Then to central Texas. Miss them and their food.

[@arjuns.3154]

I love videos like these ....I love travelling and these videos, though I'm not there physically still takes me away....at least for my 20mins watching, I was in NY...thank you so much I really love this vid...

[@anandiganga884]

Those markets have more Trini stuff than we have here!

[@TasteofTrini]

Anandi Ganga Lol

[@SimplyCaribbean]

Anandi Ganga right. We do miss nothing

[@keruist]

Awww I miss NY I lived there 13 yrs ago now I live in TX

[@manish2662]

You are such a darling girl...thx for the Liberty market tour...so so wonderful...!!! I adore seeing your videos and of course your presentation is so great...keep the show...!!!

[@nsal9375]

Oh gosh, thank you for that tour. I only know of Apna Bazaar, but was excited to see the other stores. I didn't know I could get fig leaves in the stores lol. Thank you so much! Can't wait to make a trip there!

[@monanobee5053]

Hi Rashmi, love your blog it brings back memories of my visit to Queens last year,

[@TasteofTrini]

Mona Nobee Happy to bring back memories ☺

[@MissesMouse]

My favorite part of this video is the Fish Market. How I've missed NYC for the fish markets, I'm yet to find a Fish Market like this in Central Florida.

[@amandahosein1341]

Hey, you should try Apna Bazar on 113th st or 125 st for the Bandanya . You get a bigger bundle than this one for .89 cents ! More bang for your buck .

[@TasteofTrini]

Amanda Hosein Will do, thank you for the suggestion, you're the best!

[@marilyn2780]

Great video. That was a quite a walk. I live in Long Island and I frequent there at leat twice a month. I get all my cooking ingredients there and their prices are quite reasonable. Thanks for sharing this video with your subscribers.

[@amandasookhoo6845]

good too have you back💖💖👍👍🙏🙏

[@margaretramchatesingh5994]

My sister live right on the sideoff that market love that place when i go there i think am in Trinidad i live in montreal

[@nygeva1407]

I'm a new subscriber and i'm also from Trinidad. I loved this video and I am definitely going over to Liberty to shop. I live all the way in the Bronx but that won't stop me. I love your channel, keep on doing what you doing cause I can see how much love you put into it.

[@TasteofTrini]

nygeva140 Hi, thank you for watching! It's worth the trip over, you can stock up your freezer with the vegetables and seasonings. Thank you for the appreication, I am really passionate about what I do ☺

[@MelissaRichardson-l2o]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MrSirAussie]

Thanks for the Walk-thru shopping tour.

[@TasteofTrini]

[@lizamckoy1010]

Nice to see all the fresh veggies and West Indian groceries. I wish i was living within walking distance to one in Toronto. I have to use transportation.

[@Vincent2wice]

Thank you for the video. I'm officially home sick. My mom told me MTA FINALLY finished the elevator for lefferts blvd train station lol, it's about time. Also omg Resh, Darbar food is the Best... especially the 3 piece fried chicken with the fried rice. Next time try their spicy chicken sandwich, so good... or lo mein and hot wings...

[@TasteofTrini]

Vincent2wice Glad you enjoyed. Yes it was finished just recently. I usually get chicken over rice and fried chicken. Their food is so good!

[@arianayoung7537]

Hi u forgot to mention homeless sleeping 😴 💤 there?

[@sharinasingh5180]

Things are so fresh beautiful. Everything from T&T is right in front of you, you cannot miss anything only the people.

[@DeeNY2K9]

Those are my go-to shopping spots too! We are blessed to be living in NY🙏🏽👍🏽😊

[@mariee9772]

WOW! Love the vlog ⭐️ you showed some nice markets .....for me that’s a cooks paradise ✨✨it was so interesting to see ackee in a bag I only see it here in Toronto selling in the tin can ✨

[@TasteofTrini]

Marie Glad you loved it. It's my first time seeing the frozen ackee. I hope they bring them to Toronto as well. Frozen is so much better than canned in most cases.

[@SimplyCaribbean]

I was literally across the street when you were making this video. I shop there sometimes also. Good job on the video

[@Tasteofsouthtrinidad]

Omg that’s my favorite Green market to go once in Queens🤗❤️ thanks for sharing

[@TasteofTrini]

Ava Pearce Nice! Thank you for watching!

[@Tasteofsouthtrinidad]

Taste of Trini☺️ your most welcome love that you are keeping the spirit of Trinidad and Tobago alive aboard, so much love and support your way🤗❤️

[@TasteofTrini]

Seema Ramroop Thanks for watching!

[@nitsrah]

My Guyanese grandpa moved to Liberty ave in the 70s. Used to be Italians there and they moved. Then it became more Guyanese and Caribbean neighborhood. 128 street a d 109 ave. MY GUYANESE GRANDMA TOOK ME UP AND DOWN these streets from age 5 to age 20

[@alicialeacock3016]

Totally enjoyed shopping with you on liberty avenue, it was awesome...maybe you can do a clothes and or household items store next time..much thanks..

[@TasteofTrini]

Alicia Leacock Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching! Will try to do more ☺

[@MrHorses1959]

I enjoy your videos.. I live on Lefferts and 107 Ave.. we’re neighbors. I do my shopping at the same market. So many West Indian products..

[@TasteofTrini]

Chichi10718 Chichester Happy to hear that! Hopefully we "bounce up" one day. I love that market, and the cashiers are really nice.

[@diangoodas]

Chichi10718 Chichester I was just saying the same thing, I'm very close...still watching your content😍😍😍😍

[@SistahSylvia]

Can you do a list of the best curry's to buy that are in bags or glass jars? Also can you do a list of the best coconut milk to buy in the can or coconut block. I live in new jersey. I use to live in Queens over 45 years ago. Have a wonderful week. Peace. :)

[@curtischarles724]

I'm sure going to check this place out thank u natasha...

[@simranpersad7057]

Love your videos I will love to see more..... I will love to see the flee market

[@vfoo234]

Thank you - Very Nice Video. I enjoyed shopping with you plus its my first time seeing Liberty Avenue, heard about the great shopping there but I never went. I am from Canada. I have to visit there sometime. I can say you are the first one to take me to Liberty Avenue. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Love all your Vlogs.Vado.

[@TasteofTrini]

V Foo Hi, thank you for watching. Happy you enjoyed. You definitely have to come visit whenever you are in MY. Thank you for the continued love and support.

[@Nmaylene]

Yes! Was waiting for this video. Thank you. I enjoy the tour. I will definitely check out these stores the next time I come to Liberty Avenue. We have none of this in Connecticut. 😞

[@TasteofTrini]

Nmaylene Nice, glad you enjoyed. Sorry to hear that, make the trip here every month and stock up your fridge and freezer.

[@sandy-k1n]

Great video! Love all the fresh produce.😙Have a bless day.

[@TasteofTrini]

sandra kitwana Happy you enjoyed! Have an awesome day and enjoyable weekend!

[@nigelsookdeo6880]

Bring back memories

[@karenandisa]

Wow you get more stuff there than we get home! I can't find chataigne out of season and that tamarind paste look good. It's nice u have everything whenever u get nostalgic for home. Thanks for making this video, we really appreciate the effort. Btw y did u stop using the fried rice seasoning?

[@TasteofTrini]

karenandisa My sister said the same lol. Yeah I have to try the chataigne one day, haven't bought any yet. The tamarind paste is really convenient. You just need to dissolve a little in some water and add your seasoning and sugar and you have tamarind chutney. I feel good that I have a lil piece of home here. The fried rice seasoning and most of those packaged dry seasonings contain MSG and I've been suffering from bad migraines when I use it, so I can't use it anymore. Happy you enjoyed the video☺

[@derekfernandes4863]

Great video, really enjoyed it

[@TasteofTrini]

Derek Fernandes Thank you for watching!

[@cindyali3695]

Hey ,i like shoping here too ,but just letting you know on 14th there is apna bazzar have better stuff like dashin bush, pementos ,ect. And i ask them to bring chalta hope fully by this weekend they might get it ....

[@Mmaulin12]

I tried your Bhagi recipe using normal spinach, I couldn't find dasheen leaves, but it turned out sooooooo good!

[@mureesar4643]

am so happy you show this video because some of them come to trinidad and say we dont get this or we dont get that or bring this when you coming because we dont get that over here so it good to see that and some of the stuff look better than ours you should do more of these love it

[@TasteofTrini]

Life with D&M That's true. I find it strange to see people always bringing back stuff from T&T and they live right here where they can get everything. I think some things just taste better from back home. Happy you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

[@jelinthemix]

Liberty Ave is awesome, although theres similar west indian griceries and markets I frequent in Brooklyn. I still come to visit roti shops and bakeries. That market on 118 is huge tho gotta check it out

[@esthermungal4552]

Hello I'm enjoying all of your videos. Excellent work

[@sallyally2868]

My daughter's favorite shopping spot

[@TasteofTrini]

Sally Ally Nice!

[@kavitaramgobindurgadeen9260]

I really enjoyed this vlog. You know my dream is to come New York. It's amazing to me that they have every thing trini there.

[@TasteofTrini]

Kavitaramgobin Durgadeen Happy to hear. Yes, it's easy to get everything we need.

[@vashtisoogrim7698]

Hi i love watching all your video

[@jenifferkhan-beal1886]

It was so nice of u too make d time to do this for ur viewers.. Awesome

[@TasteofTrini]

Jeniffer Khan-Beal No problem, thanks for watching!

[@christophersimms4967]

This makes me want to move to queens now so much culture I love this 😍😍😍🇹🇹

[@TasteofTrini]

Christopher Simms Aww, yes it's like home away from home.

[@angelakassie8532]

I walkthrough there so many times. Is like Chaguanas. You get everything there jus like Trinidad.

[@machetedonttweet1343]

I miss shopping and limein on Liberty , but I don't miss the cold .

[@ms.doodle9657]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@NYCstyle26]

Omg me too.. I come all the way from Brooklyn to go there 🤣

[@NYCstyle26]

That fish market stink 🤮 really bad

[@TasteofTrini]

Nisha Yes....I hate the scent of all the the fish markets and the poultry 🤮

[@johnnykhan8942]

Thanks for that Video, I enjoyed it a lot ,like all your other videos, need to go up there soon

[@salemthemerciless]

Nice store, they really do have more stuff than local groceries , a wide range from across the Caribbean. I was surprised to see fig leaves being sold. Also , I always thought chataigne doesn't cook well if it is frozen ( so I was told) , seems it isn't true.

[@cavavillven508]

Nice! Thanks for sharing. Happy Friday!! :)

[@TasteofTrini]

Cava Villven Happy Friday! ☺

[@nofalsemetal76]

that's a hell of a lot of markets in one area!!! Maybe you could do like a taste test video where maybe the husband and yourself and a few friends sample rotis from the shops and pick the ones you all like best.

[@TasteofTrini]

nofalsemetal76 Thanks for watching, and for the suggestion. Yes, and this is not even half of the markets lol

[@stonecold6243]

wow been so long that used to be a florist shop!

[@lindaseenath6411]

Hi love this video you got everything,can you tell me where in trinidad you can get curry leaves?if you know.

[@tahseennaj4274]

When i visit qnz..i go there as well. Very fresh vegs indeed.

[@sylvester135757]

Please Natasha ask Anthony to open a market like liberty in Birmingham. I can't find Trinidadian food stuff here. shardow benny , dasheen leaves just to name a few. Trini English.

[@elizabethadams6023]

Hey Hassa is a wonderful fish in Guyana,and it is caught from creeks and lakes and very clean polders and so on. I know Trinidadians turn up their nose at this fish and this is because their people catch them in questionable trenches. But we Guyanese people have big rivers and creeks and clean fishes.

[@elizabethroblyn1392]

Omg thats like here, only larger. Lol. Very nice

[@marciaram2505]

Happy Friday I like the video

[@TasteofTrini]

Marcia Ramkissoon Happy Friday, happy you enjoyed.

[@sabsin5606]

I literally live a few blocks away and shop there all the time. I have no idea why I'm watching this. haha

[@aminimazzagatti3367]

How do you keep your hair and skin so good looking??

[@jimmynitro7629]

I live in buffalo ny but im from barrackpore Trinidad and we don't get nothing really here like dashheen bush and eddoes etc. Overthere looking like chaguanas wow... its like Toronto... i wish i had a million dollars us i would have love to live there.

[@apachejai]

Did you call Liberty Ave a little Chaguanas? That's a first but ah think yuh right. I go use that, next time I'm in NYC. Keep the videos coming. I was looking for choka tips. Well, the other KZbin cooking channel had too much talking and his process looked nothing like yours or my sister in law's. Glad I found your channel.

[@TasteofTrini]

Lol. I think it looks like Chaguanas. Glad I can help.

[@julzb3914]

That was my favorite place to do shopping tooo!!! And the only time u go across the street is if they don't have what u looking for 😂😂

[@kevondavis1966]

????? Any one of those market's sell those prawn chips u fry in oil i remember esting those as ah kid and i cant seem to find them up here

[@Sairamaraj]

kevon davis Trinciti Roti shop or trini delight has them

[@nadiamungal8653]

Wow nice to to see Guyana😆😅😄😃😂😁😀

[@wayne102667]

Do they have Bajan drinks like coconut cooler,plus, tiger malt in those stores

[@annmariemarine1972]

Hi this remind me of high street sando #lovethisvlogkeepthemcoming

[@triciap666]

I used to shop there also but don’t anymore cause they pretty much more expensive for their items. But, I’ll surely recommend Apna Bazzar few blocks down. Get lots of Indian and Caribbean produce and grocery for way cheaper. Their shadow Beni aka Bandania is much more bigger bundles ... etc ... even the curry leave you get more for your money. Just my recommendation. For fresh and good fish come to Supthin Blvd in Jamaica Queens and you’ll get the best fish market in New York.

[@TasteofTrini]

Tricia Prentice Okay, I'll have to check them out, I only go for the curry leaves. I go to King Fish and Seafood in Jamaica Ave...their seafood is always fresh, but when I can't make it there I have to settle for Fish World which is a little more pricey😐

[@triciap666]

Taste of Trini ... that’s the fish market am referring to which is on Sutphin Blvd not Jamaica Ave. always the best seafood from them but understand you can’t be there always so have to settle for Liberty Ave.

[@notadoctor2581]

Hi from London, UK. Love your videos! What do you do for a living?

[@anyib.3150]

Liberty and ozone park in general has massive amounts of Guyanese and Indian and Trini people

[@kaer.453]

Thats my fav market as well!

[@anisharaju115]

WELCOME too our hood do one on Saturday just like Chaganaus

[@TasteofTrini]

Sookdeo Hardeo Yes, Saturday mornings are crazy. I do all my market shopping during the week.

[@jasonbridgelal9234]

Wow nice

[@TasteofTrini]

jason bridgelal ☺ Thank you for watching!

[@ramfrancisuk]

is it cheaper to eat Trini food in New York than at home? Seems like home from home food wise :)

[@purpleprincess1507]

Hey Reshmi not sure if u remember me......a few years ago you visited my home....it was nice having u and Kevin over. Love the videos and recipes keep it up.....😊
