Fingers crossed that it won't be as crowded as the one down in Union Square (yeah, I'm sure that's going to happen, lol).

BOOYA!

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

*sigh* Maybe one day we'll get an affordable grocery store in Hells Kitchen.

That's one of the reasons I actually love living in Queens. I can get a Zipcar for the afternoon and hit up Costco or Trader Joe's and avoid the crazy Manhattan crowds.

It's supposed to open in June. The Mgr. at the Union Sq store said that the UWS one is supposed to be absolutely HUGE! 2 floors! Yay!

Now if only you'd get an ALDI.

Aldi owns Trader Joe's. They are essentially the same store. They both stock their own labels exclusively.

I love the Aldi Chicken Salad!

They may be owned by the same people, but you can't compare an Aldi with a TJs.

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

"That's one of the reasons I actually love living in Queens. I can get a Zipcar for the afternoon and hit up Costco or Trader Joe's and avoid the crazy Manhattan crowds"

I'm curious - does the cost of renting the zipcar still allow you to save any money?

They put a Whole Foods on 97th and Columbus, and I've been there a couple of times. It's great--the tourists don't flock that far up and crowding isn't as much of a problem. But 72nd St/Broadway? That's gonna be another crowded situation. Fairway on 74th is a nightmare.

I live on the UWS and I heard about this about a year ago or more, but am glad that it's confirmed. It's sad that there won't be a wine store though due to some stupid state law.

I also heard that a Trader Joes is moving into the old Barnes and Noble store in Chelsea on 6th ave for those that live around there.

Boy do I hope that's true. B&N was huge! I've been going to the tiny 14th st. store, and besides being too crowded, they don't have the room to stock very many products.

For the Costco runs, absolutely, because of the buying in bulk aspect. Trader Joe's runs, not as much, but it does allow me to save some sanity, and plus, I really miss driving sometimes so it's a good couple of hours to have a car to drive around in.
