Locally owned grocery stores
What is everyone’s favorite locally owned grocery store / “small business” grocery store? And what are you buying there?
My top three is New Oriental in the East Village, Hilal Market by Drake, and Graziano’s on the south side.
Sometimes things are more expensive at these stores, but most of the time I find items are cheaper (and higher quality)- especially pantry staples. Regardless though, with the current state of the economy (and the world) I really want to shop locally and support small businesses as much as possible and get away from big corporations. Even if I’m buying the same products / name products at these stores.
