If you are doing a traditional Swedish Christmas dinner, you will find that it is harder to find the items you need in Bay Ridge because the Norwegian Store on 3rd Avenue closed this year.  

If you are looking for lingonberries, glogg, the hard bread, pickled herring  – you can find those things in Brooklyn – not Bay Ridge, but it’s a 10 minute ride to  Ikea located at 1 Beard Streed

They sell Pickled herring in the Russian store on 87th Street and 3rd Avenue.
