Horman’s Pickles

I have encountered Horman’s Pickles at their temporary street location in West Village and also during Pickle Day in the Lower East Side where they were among a few dozen vendors harking their self made pickles.
Horman’s Best Pickles makes their own pickles. Outside of the traditional sour and half sours, which are very good and have a snap to them, they carry some more unusual flavors that are very much worth trying.
The spicy pickle, which is a common stable of pickle places that makes their own in house pickles, are pretty good although it is a step below what could be found at Pickle Guys and the former Guss Pickles, now known as Clinton Hill Pickles. Nicely spicy, slightly sour, the two opposing flavors just missed the perfect harmony inherit at the places I just mentioned.
There are two things that are very worth mentioning at this pickle stand.
The first is their radish pickles as mentioned by other reviewers. Along with the sourness of a good pickle, this version adds a radish flavor plus the slight sharpness and bite found in them.
The second one is even more unusual. The honey mustard pickle. This is one of their premium pickles which only comes in circular sandwich ready slices. This pickle comes bathed in a thick honey mustard sauce. It’s both sweet and sour at the same time. Everyone that sampled this loved it and a few ended up buying a pint of their own.
If you are hesitant about my suggestions, don’t be too shy to ask them for samples first. The friendly workers would be more than happy to give out small pieces to try.
You could buy the regular pickles for $ 1 a pickle, speared in a stick like a lollipop. This does not apply to their premium pickles since they come only in slices. You could also buy them in quarts or pints.

Bought pickles here today at the LIC Flea. Got spicy and horseradish pickles and they are both awesome. Tried a bunch of pickles to taste and tapenade and I liked it all.
