  • After 20 years of the Food Emporium, Best Market feels like the Twilight Zone. People waling the aisles with their jaws dropped, as in "Is this for real?" The staff is so nice and helpful, the food is fresh, the aisles are organized, it's so clean. An older woman said with a smile "'Ive been around long enough to know fresh food. Produce from the Food Emporium wasn't edible. I don't mind paying for it if it's good, and now I'm going to gain so much weight..." The prices seemed very good to me, no long lines like Whole Foods, I'm sold on the new biz in town. — Betsy Pearce on Supermarket Price Check!

  • I find the WF rotisserie chickens to be flavorless and the Ledistrict ones to be insubstantial. Dirt Bird has amazing rotisserie at $17 ( I know, but it is better than the others) and if you ask nicely, they will give you some jous from the bottom of the roaster. WH service has always been abysmal. If you go up to a counter, employees try to avoid making eye contact and the attitude is go as slow as you can. I know slicing bread is not fun (I did it as a job), but just do your job and let me overpay and get the hell out of of the store. — cami on Open Letter: What Happened to Our Whole Foods Store?

  • Thanks for the tip! — DeeDee on Open Letter: What Happened to Our Whole Foods Store?

  • For things like deli meats/cheeses Best Market is significantly cheaper than Whole Foods. I have never been to Gourmet Garage or used Fresh Direct. — nyrangers615 on Supermarket Price Check!

  • Wow.. very interesting.. — juliejewel on Supermarket Price Check!

  • While Calatrava's monument to marble adds to the overload of stark, extreme neat, clean and anti-septic architecture of the rebuilt Ground Zero, like some sort of subconscious effort to obliterate all memory of destruction, pain, shock, heroism and sacrifice of 9/11, an authentic piece of that memory sits forgotten in an abandoned corner of Battery Park. The battered and bruised Koenig Sphere, the only remaining intact artifact of the WTC. It has been deemed too offensive, too ugly, to real to be returned to the WTC and the billion dollar, "National September 11 Memorial." It would infringe upon "healing" - and our happy selfies. To help return the Sphere, please Facdbook, Save the Sphere — Michael Burke on In the News: First Reviews of the World Trade Center Oculus

  • Milk is a pale liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals. Can we all please stop calling nut juice "milk"? It is juice; almond juice, soy juice, whatever juice, not milk. — fidus on New Kid on the Block: Wicked Juice and Kitchen

  • I'm bummed that the reporter didn't get to the bottom of the ass donuts! It wouldn't have been too cheeky to ask. — Andrea on In the News: First Reviews of the World Trade Center Oculus

  • Just heard from the owner that they are indeed organic (and I'll update the text accordingly). — Erik Torkells on New Kid on the Block: Wicked Juice and Kitchen

  • If they were organic, they would be $14-16 a bottle. — Jeff Martins on New Kid on the Block: Wicked Juice and Kitchen

  • Are these juices organic? I don't see any info on it in the pictures. — Jen on New Kid on the Block: Wicked Juice and Kitchen

  • J and R screwed their venders out of millions of dollars including my company when they closed I did freelance window displays for them for over 25 years including walking across the Brooklyn bridge after 9/11 to get them back in business only to be screwed out of my outstanding invoices... Not fair... The rich get richer and the little guy gets screwed... Thanks — G on Three More Buildings Are Toast

  • I love these articles. One of these years I would love to go on the loft tour where locals open their homes to the public in order to raise money for Friends of Duane Park and Friends of Bogardus Garden. — TribecaMom on Loft Peeping: Naomi Watts & Liev Schreiber

  • Well said indeed! Our energy would be better spent on actual real people with real problems and real interests ... and real NY apartments. Disgusted to read that celeb reference Hurricane Sandy. Doesn't she know ppl lost their homes, their ONLY homes. Author should've included that extra time also had to do with their inability to pay the first guy on the project who had to sue them to get his money after doing work. Or maybe just chosen someone more appropriate to highlight. This is NOT the neighborhood into which I moved. Very disheartening. — Rena M on Loft Peeping: Naomi Watts & Liev Schreiber

  • The "pending" refers to zoning approval of the proposed use. No zoning diagrams have apparently been scanned in yet. For a hotel in an M district, if the height, footage and other requirements comply, this should be an "as of right" project with no variances required. No such applications for a variance are indicated on the filing. — James on A New Nine-Story Hotel

  • As an original member of the gym it would be sad to see them loose their lease. There are no other reasonable alternatives other than these new fancy private clubs, that don't offer the range of classes. Of course, clients can be asked not to drop their weights on the floor. That should be the job of the many trainers who are standing around. These trainers should be more involved with all the members and not just watching their own clients. If they loose the lease, what kind of business can afford that large a space? Do we really need more law firms and banks? The real problem is the greedy landlords that are killing retail and restaurants. Look at all the vacant spaces coming to market.
