Outside D’Vine Taste, the world has changed.
Park Slope has grown wealthier, its residents’ palates more adventurous. And the war that drove the owners of this small gourmet market to America has long since come to a close.
Inside the shop, though, with its faded bins of fragrant spices, open barrels of coffee beans and crowded prepared-foods case, time softens and takes on sepia tones. A mother soothes her fussing toddler with a dried apricot, while Roger Salem, the kind-eyed, bearded co-owner, bags warm ciabatta for a young couple’s dinner.
This is the way things have been — cluttered but enticingly homey — since Mr. Salem, 46, and his sister Nalie Salem, 60, took over an aging storefront on Seventh Avenue just shy of three decades ago.
