    I saw him on the street in Hell's Kitchen a couple of years ago with a hipster girlfriend. I stopped him and told him I thought he was pretty great. Once he determined to his satisfaction that I wasn't an ax murderer, he cracked a small smile and thanked me.

    Fresh Direct, my friends. Fresh Direct.


    They have great stuff, fresh, not as expensive as you would think, and deliver my shit up three flights of stairs. Never late. And I have never had a problem with the delivery guys.


    Of course, I tip well, throw in an extra twenty at Xmas, and always offer water and a cookie.


    Those guys would lug a piano up the stairs for me.

    FUCKABUNCHA Gristedes. Their stores smell like ammonia, are laid out like hedge mazes and have a shitty selection. I'd rather go to Associated.

    I'm wondering when other grocers will realize that the reason people go to TJ's is they have good stuff cheap, not some sort of magic of branding.

    Now they can focus on the gourmet food market and re-open as Dino & Delirious, or Citrolucci's.
