whole-foods-no.jpg The Local dispels the rumor started by the developer of the 365-unit rental at 470 Vanderbilt Avenue that Whole Foods was under consideration for the site: “‘There’s nothing in the works here right now,’ said Mara Engel Wedeck, contact for the Northeast region for the behemoth healthy foods chain.” Oh well.

  1. There’s really no butchers in the slope?

    and if you’re shopping at whole foods – there’s a 50% chance that it’s the union square one. isn’t the union square market everyday?

  2. “Better produce can be obtained from your local farmers market – and better meat/fish can be obtained from your local butcher.”

    Local farmers market = 1 day a week
    Local butcher = nonexistent

    I suppose if you have a car, things might be different.

  3. “the long lines at Whole Foods actually move faster than almost any other grocery I’ve been to”

    Not as fast as the self-checkout lines, which is what I use 90% of the time at Key Foods.

    FWIW, I am one of the absolutely least tolerant people I have ever known when it comes to waiting in line. I hate waiting in line to give someone my money and lose patience after about 9 seconds.

    Still, I will put up with it for good fish, although I’d rather go to Citorella or somewhere that will sell me good fish without pissing me off.

  4. People like whole foods because the fruits and vegetables aren’t half rotted and/or wrapped up in cellophane, their fish looks like it came from something that swam in the ocean in the recent past, and their meats do not look like the better half of an animal whose remainder is in a can of dogfood somewhere.

    That said, I can’t stand the check out lines in Whole Foods and avoid it like the plague.
