Oh, I didn't know that. I only started shopping there in the past 10 years or so. (Before that, it was always Food Emporium or Gristedes). They have some really interesting stuff that you really can't find anywhere else. And it's not so mad crowded like it is at Whole Foods (Time Warner Ctr). The lines go pretty fast and the cashiers are friendly and speedy for the most part. I can't deal with the crowds at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. I only live 5-4 blocks away from Westerly so that's my main source for grocery shopping. I hope it doesn't go away anytime soon!
No it won't. After the fire a few years ago, the re-built it bigger and added a lot more. They seem to do pretty good business. When i've gone its pretty busy. The tight aisles are no good when you have a backpack on but such is the price to pay to grocery shop in midtown.
They do have a lot of interesting items, it's one of the reason I still pop in from time to time. The people who work in the vitamin dept are also very knowledgeable. I just can't afford to buy all my groceries there.
I had to look up EBT. That’s basically a welfare program like food stamps right? You sure do know how to play the system. Rent stabilized apartment. Food stamps... And talking about Fairway... Why did I get a college education and work my &ss off for?
I think the same thing. After this apartment, I don't think I qualify for any of the apartment lotteries going forward. I have a healthy 401k and IRA balance going though, which I wouldn't have if I made less money. I pay enough taxes to the governments that be with so little return (or in the case of the Feds, basically nothing, I feel like I at least get something from the state/city), might as well make them give me something. The change in the standard deduction and loss of personal exemption hurt my taxes. Basically inverted my Federal return by $1500, I owed so much this year. F the feds, so much for helping the middle class, whatever that means these days.
Also, I'm having the worst trouble finding oat milk at anywhere but Fairway. I don't understand how all the coffee shops get it
