These folks got it going on. Not only do they have three locations in New York, but they also own Blenheim Hill Farm in rural New York, where they produce much of the food for their restaurants. This really caught my eye, as some of my non-Scandinavian ancestors were early settlers of Schoharie County and lived on Blenheim Hill.

An interesting looking little place, and one I'd definitely like to try some day. Very hard to find restaurants serving a Finnish menu. This place seems to be the real deal.

The place is an honest-to-God windmill. Looks like they have a wide variety of high quality Danish collectibles, focusing on Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grondahl plates.

Interesting looking little Swedish shop out in Kansas. The name translates as "handicraft" per their site.
