Urban Organic - Yay or Nay???

Nobody mentioned Fort Greene/Clinton Hill! Optimally located: every evening we decide whether to stay in the hood or WALK to Vinegar Hill/DUMBO, B’klyn Heights, Park Slope, Caroll Gardens, Boerum Hill or Williamsburg for dinner. Can’t beat 1 stop on the Q to Chinatown, 1 stop on the B to the LES, 2 stops on the Q across the Manhattan Bridge to Union Square – I’m at Trader Joe’s or the East Village in 15 minutes. I have more trains within a 3 minute walk than anywhere in the known universe (G, J, 2, 3, 4, 5, Q, B, D, C to name a few). My gym is a 30 second walk and to go to BAM Café for free Fri-Sat music maybe 2 minutes – it’s always interesting to us to see the bus leave the BAM Harvey to take people back to Manhattan… The community vibe is excellent and there’s massive participation in the Greening FG/CH initiative. Also, FG Park, weekly Farmer’s Market, bike friendly (7 mins to the Manhattan or B’klyn bridges and to the new East River greenway). Walking around all the hoods I mention above they all seem great however I love where I live (and I lived near Central Park up to 5 years ago).

Thanks for all the feedback. We signed up for the service but also put a request in for them to offer an option to receive the box every TWO weeks. It would still allow them to plan their purchases in advance but it would be less onerous for small households like us. We'll see what happens...

This is their response:
"HI, we appreciate the feedback, and we do offer the box on a weekly basis, or biweekly basis, and we also offer periodic delivery. (a person calls us before 3 the day before we are in their area and we will happily deliver a box."
