Today the Observer runs a story on the impending arrival of Whole Foods and its possible threat to the Park Slope Food Coop. “Whole Foods is more of an ideological challenge to the Park Slope Food Coop, the headquarters of arch-Park Slope living, than it is a threat to business,” states the article, which points out the the Coop has a higher profit margin than Whole Foods. Writer and Park Slope resident Amy Sohn vowed not to make the switch from the Coop to Whole Foods, but hoped the Coop members “who wind up on the blacklist” would. She says the people who will enjoy the Whole Foods most “Want to replicate their sort of Mall of America experience in New York City, so they love that you can have a Whole Foods in Brooklyn.” Like it or not, the site will be built: the article reveals an Austin-based construction company will begin work 2011 and will open the store late 2012.

“Land Yacht ?, Bay Ridge ?”
Nice try, but your posts, as usual, are dead giveaways, especially your HOTD and COTD posts complaining about no kitchen and bath pics.
BTW, my personal view is that Yemen Cafe is terrible. Not worth the trip. Walk it bit further to one of the other Middle East restaurants, like Tripoli or Waterfall Cafe.
“I’ve been to Chocolate Room and frequent Sahadis.”
Yes, snarkitect, I know you do. You can frequently be found at Sahadi with your hands all over the olives.
Oh, so sorry, I believe you know it as “YC”.
😉
snarkitect, Snark filed trademark infringement on ID and ask that you revert back to your old old old orig ID
11217 is shy?

Never been to Yemen Cafe. Is it good?
Land Yacht ?, Bay Ridge ?
TJ’s is great for frozen food. Their packaged nuts are also reasonably priced. You can’t get the same products at the Key Food down Atlantic. I should know, I shop at both.
Clyde, you arriving with J Edgar in her new Christmas gown?????
jester, get off it. 11217 needs some tough love.
11217,
Best you stay away. I’m afraid ishtar will kick your ass if you show up. As for me, I’ll be there with good cheer and gifts.
Interesting perspective, 11217. Thanks for helping us to understand. Whenever the time is right, so be it.
To go, or not to go– that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous ishtar,
Or to walk there against cupcake shops and bakerys
And, by opposing, have a drink. To die, to sleep
No more – and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to – ‘tis a consummation.
