HarryJune 7, 2015Nice market with great selection of everything, including a very decent food court. However, the undeniable attraction is the building with its arched ceiling!
Nina LoSchiavoMarch 1, 2014Friendly employees; observe and enjoy the beautiful architecture work below the Queensboro bridge.
Far CarDecember 9, 2011This is their best branch so far ~ love the location (under the bridge), Lavazza cafe + International Food Specialty Section. Cozy ambiance and lines are never long. +++
सिद्धार्थAugust 5, 2014Look up. It's marvelous. Mezzanine level has pictures that chronicle the history of the market under the bridge.
Clean, expensive, friendly staff and the architecture of the ceilings is work by Gustavino. Great acoustics.
TK 🍦🍷March 30, 2013Look up! Behold the acclaimed tilework of Guastavino, who also desigNed the arches of grand Central Station.
Old AmsterdamDecember 27, 2012Old Amsterdam's premium aged Gouda considered the "people's favorite," make sure to not miss out next time you come shopping.
* p A u L * CDecember 12, 2014Most interesting supermarket in UES, under Queensboro bridge. expensive but lots of choice.
Long story short: After 3 people making 3 attempts to get serviced at the meat/fish counter, 1 attempt to find the manager/someone at the CS Desk, we received help. 30 minutes and no apology...poor!!!
Open till 11pm on Sunday nights, awesome for late night prepping for your week!
Steven PrieselNovember 21, 2015Closing for good on 11/21/15. No plans to reopen this space as another supermarket have been posted yet.
Runner's World MagazineNovember 1, 2011There's a retaining wall on the 59th Street side that you can stand on to watch runners coming off the bridge during the NYC Marathon.
Wylie ConlonSeptember 23, 2013"Cronuts" 2 for $7. Caramel, chocolate, and strawberry. Don't get strawberry.
I AmosFebruary 10, 2010Insane variety of chocolate, pasta, and condiments downstairs. Free wifi, tables, and outlets upstairs.
Find your pretzel crisps here in the deli section! The buffalo wing flavor sounds weird but is delicious!!
Ava DawsonMay 9, 2010Has really inexpensive Saffron. Saffron is so hard to find in this city for some reason!
If you want good seafood you got to sheck them out and ask for alexand he will get you anything you want.
Sarah FitzPatrickAugust 23, 2012Always out of produce or the staff is "on break" if you need something.
Delicious Kumato brown tomatoes for only $3.99 ($5.99 in most other stores)
Don't goo too early - or too late - for you will not find any produce! Read more
The worst grocery store in all of Manhattan. Insane product display and organization, lousy selection and overall just a waste of time. Order Fresh Direct if you want to eat.
