Seeking an alternative to the small but neatly stocked Met Food on 5th Avenue between 58th and 59th, I checked out (ugh, pun not intended) the PathMark located on 13th Avenue at 61st.
The store is a tremendous suburban style grocery store, with wide aisles through which two roomy grocery carts can easily clear each other. The prices aren't any great bargain, but at least the tab was cheaper than Fresh Direct (which does not yet deliver to our block) or grocery shopping in Manhattan. It was definitely a pleasure to shop aisles with such a good variety of products, and to not have to squeeze past other shoppers with a hand basket on my arm. There's also a good selection of Passover items in the store right now, handy to know if you need your egg Matzoh fix.
I also stopped off at the closer-to-home Circus Fruits, Inc - it's on Fort Hamilton Parkway and 59th street. Yelp.com users have given pretty favorable reviews of the store here. I got some amazing deals - honeydew melons on special for .69 cents each, beautiful, firm red bell peppers for less than $1 a pound; fresh green broccoli at $1 per bunch.
