  • What's the point of comparing outside the city? Who cares? I don't shop in the suburbs, I shop in my neighborhood and some of these prices are pretty strong. $1.29 for a dozen eggs (half the price of anywhere else with 5 blocks). 2 Salad packs for $5 (again, good luck getting salad packs for $2.50). Sure I can find better deals on some products elsewhere, but I saw plenty of neighborhood steals on my visit to Target. And BB&B is your example of low prices? IMO they are one of the city's great ripoffs. So, stay away, pay more down the block or go to the suburbs so you don't pay higher for goods in the city. It just means more Target for me. — Jon on Seen & Heard: Is Target a Good Deal?

  • Can always order online. Target has free shipping on orders $25+ and free returns. — TribecaMom on Seen & Heard: Is Target a Good Deal?

  • Some items are definitely cheaper. For example; - 32 oz bottles of Gatorade for $1.02 - gallon Poland Springs water for $1.15. - six pack of import beer was around $9 Also, most of the sale items are attractively priced. Things I recall that were more expensive: - Quart of milk was more than whole foods by 10 or 20 cents - Dozen eggs were about the same price, if not more So they seem to have "loss leaders" mixed in with "regular" priced items. In terms of pricing, it didn't feel too far off from my experience with bigger suburban stores. However, it's apparent that they are trying to cater to a different market with this Target. The average transaction of the Chobani cafe is probably north of $5 vs the typical Target hot dog / pretzel / soda fountain cafe, which I would guess to be around $2-3. — D3 on Seen & Heard: Is Target a Good Deal?

  • Andrea, that's the deli on Church Street between Thomas and Duane. — Jim Smithers on Where in Tribeca…?

  • One would think Target has landed two blocks from WTC (and on the BMCC campus) only as a branding presence, not to profit, and prices would be low. The space is too small to do what they do, and rent around here is forbidding to profit anyway, unless they got some corporate welfare out of it. Then again, if branding is their sole aim, makes sense they'd figure: the heck with supply-seeking locals - they know where else to shop. We want the ice cream and coffee seeking tourist crowd. — jfrankp on Seen & Heard: Is Target a Good Deal?

  • Yes there is a Target in Jersey city walking distance from the PATH train that leaves you by the Newport mall. The train stop is called Newport-Pavonia. The walk after the train is about 10 to 15 mins — T on Seen & Heard: Is Target a Good Deal?

  • You can take PATH to the Target in Jersey City. You can add in Light Rail but it's faster to walk: https://goo.gl/maps/L96SQgxVosj — Dan Kohn on Seen & Heard: Is Target a Good Deal?

  • Not outside the city, don't know about full size - but the Atlantic Terminal Target is close and you could compare prices. It is probably a more valid comparison anyhow, because you need to factor in gas, a car etc. to get comparability otherwise. https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=target+brooklyn&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari&gfe_rd=cr&ei=Im33V_S4MLTf8AeEipiYBg#gfe_rd=cr&istate=lrl:iv&rlimm=1497947405500016779 — A. on Seen & Heard: Is Target a Good Deal?

  • Just because someone is careless does not mean they deserve to be victims of a crime, or that the criminal should not be pursued and justice served. — Marcus on In the News: Kimye Has Left

  • Better bring a flashlight — Janet on Seen & Heard: Yves Restaurant

  • Bloomberg did. There was a noticeable shift in the upkeep of the park after the transition. Broken stones were replaced almost overnight, and the flower pottings were regular. I always thought what a waste during the recession, but it is the small things that can make a difference. With the tour buses blocking the Park Row crossings, I feel like I'm at Port Authority. — mruptight on Seen & Heard: Yves Restaurant

  • Yep. Worked at 75 Varick in the 80s, and our office manager would set up client dinners at either Cafe Luxembourg or Nosmo King. It took me a while to get the name. — mruptight on In the News: Kimye Has Left

  • Alyssa Gold's webseries is excellent. Recommend it! — Huck's mom on Seen & Heard: A Peek Inside Target

  • I'm amazed they bother to file a police report. Why, to get written proof of their carelessness? — Erik Torkells on In the News: Kimye Has Left

  • The number of stories that involve 'person X leaving wallet/purse on table/chair unattended for periods of time and then shocked to see it gone on their return' never ceases to amaze me. — lowphat on In the News: Kimye Has Left

  • Re 13-17 Laight . . . anyone here old enough to remember Nosmo King restaurant? — Noah on In the News: Kimye Has Left

  • On the lower level, there is a decent section of toys...... — Ruben on New Kid on the Block: Target

  • I'm probably one of the most anti-deblasio people you'll meet but your comment's beyond ridiculous. you're expecting the mayor of a major city to personally stay on top of details like lightbulbs in parks? — lowphat on Seen & Heard: Yves Restaurant

  • I agree with Eric's remarks. We have the opportunity to shop where we can buy the same product for less money. I use the Downtown Pharmacy to buy cleaning products and cosmetics. They are less expensive then many of the franchised stores... — Larry Loonin on New Kid on the Block: Target

  • If the Mayor can't take care of something as simple as making sure the light bulbs are changed in his backyard, how can he run the city. No attention is paid to the details that make for a safer, more enjoyable life in the city. the streets around city hall are filled with pot holes and long overdue for repaving. — Mel on Seen & Heard: Yves Restaurant

  • The owners of Yves are Matt Abramcyk and Akiva Elstein, who have several restaurants (together and separately) in the area. Matt himself told me the name is indeed Yves, so unless he and Akiva have started working with the Yves Jadot Restaurant Group, it would seem highly unlikely. (You put the Yves Jadot website as your website; I assume that was not actually an indication that you're affiliated with the company, but if I'm wrong, by all means let me know.) — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Greenwich Street Restaurant Close to Opening
