I finally found a place I liked, 533 West 48th, but I am wondering how close grocery stores should be. I’m not that familiar with the city and wondering do people grocery shop at local stores or big chains. Nearest whole foods is like a 20 min walk away which seems kind of inconvenient. What should I be looking for or is this sort of walk common?
Can someone explain to me the anomaly of Gristedes still existing throughout the city? Expired, overpriced groceries. Disgusting, dingy, dirty stores. Yet they're every few blocks throughout the city.
How do these guys manage to survive in an era of grocery delivery? It blows my mind that the city bans Walmart and other chain stores but allows Gristedes to stick around and sell meats and produce that expired months ago and charge $10 for a cereal box.
