Pierre, you must pick up Trader’s honeycrisp Apple cider. Get two

With A&P gone, there are really only a handful of old school supermarket players left. Most under Red Apple banner which includes Gristedes, and to an extent D’Agostino. Neither are loved by the "new" New Yorkers, especially residents of Manhattan. You can read this in various reviews including Yelp. They largely survive by being the only supermarket/grocery store in an area.

I never liked those either, but I certainly do like Fairway and H Mart and I've always found them quite busy.

Are the apples they source local and organic? I'm a big fan of Martinelli's. Love their organic apple drinks!

Nah. The apples come from Washington I believe. Still. Don’t let it deter you. The only ingredient is the juice

That's fine. I always get them from Washington or NY. Equally delicious.
