Guidebook for New York
Essentials
This is my favorite place to buy groceries in the neighborhood. Plenty of great produce and local/organic selection. I like the short walk but it's more than simple to take the train 1 stop to 125th.

If you haven't been here, you should go! The famous Marcus Samuellson (you might've seen him on the Food Network) could possibly make a personal appearance. The food is DELICIOUS.
