People like to complain about the Park Slope Food Coop, but it's one of the only places in NYC where you can get an organic bouquet of lacinato kale for $1.75, olives for $2, and cheeses for just a bit more than $2. There are also quality olive oils well under $18.99, cheap loose teas, inexpensive coffee, Oatly for under $4. Dragonfruit and pomegranates! You might even make a friend.

🛒I shop late-ish at night, so a 24-hour situation is important to me. This place is in the best neighborhood, and they don’t even jack up their prices. Milk Is $1.99 and a huge tub of pineapple cut up is $4.99. They sell huge water bottles for a dollar. The flowers outside are beautiful, and it’s on Prince Street, and the name is SOHO GARDEN…it sort of glows all pretty on the block at night, too. It’s my favorite place to buy pre-cut fruit in New York City; it’s all in tubs. You dig through the ice with your hands. You have to ask them to wrap up the pineapple, though. It’ll drip everywhere.

🏙Not exactly known for being cheap, but there are lots of great places on the UES, especially if you’re willing to walk east! Things will decrease in price/raise in quality if you cross Lex. We have outposts of two amazing Brooklyn favorites, Lucia Pizza and Regina’s Grocery (impeccable Italian sandwiches, skip the overhyped Milano Market). As I posted the other day, the froyo at Butterfield is out of this world (food is decent as well, if wildly expensive). I’ve only been once, but people like the new Joju (popular place in Flushing) for banh mi. Also not quite on topic and a bit of a walk north but I’d be remiss in not telling you about Earl’s Beer and Cheese, my favorite bar that also has very good food.
