Grocery

Whole Foods on Bedford at 4th is the best bet. They have a fabulous assortment of cheese, good fresh pasta, well priced meat and decent produce.

Corner Delis - there is one on corner of 11th & Drigg for last minute needs.

Favorite for produce is Mr Pina on Havemeyer & south 5th - you can’t beat the prices. Great for cheap berries!
