| From NYC, within a 15 minute walk from my door: - Whole Foods - Key Food - 2-3 specialty grocers (think italian importers, etc.) - gourmet grocer - two butcher shops and a fresh fish shop - CVS (yes, they sell groceries! spooky) - 2-3 bodegas that sell shelf-stable goods, as well as a small collection of fruit and vegetables If you go expand it to 15 minute bike, the world is truly your oyster, but the primary one that pops up is Trader Joe's. The most remarkable part of this description, is that it identifies at least 4 or 5 different neighborhoods in NYC, those are only the ones I can think of off the top of my head, and I haven't been close to everywhere. There's a lot of things to knock about NYC, but it's easily the most walkable city in the US, that I've seen. |
