    Well, if by "competitive prices" they mean competitive with Whole Foods, then I guess they're not lying...

    Well really I wouldn't call any of the groceries at a corner store well priced. You pay for convenience to get a dusty jar of emergency Ragu.

    Yeah, I'm also not sure why people think the groceries at bodegas are even closed to well priced. If you price compare at all, you may be surprised with what you find.

    But hey, it's not like all we do is complain that only bars are opening up. Equal opportunity complaining.

    Glad to hear that an alternative to that disgusting Key Foods is opening up, I'll pay a little more for fresh local food from a place that's not owned by a huge corporation.

    There's not really a knock-off four loco, right?

    Am happy to defect from Gracefully for local food, at probably about the same cost.

    My main question is: Will they have a fish monger???

    Earth to Union Market: the LES/EV NEEDS A FISH MONGER. And local/sustainable is A-OK.
