Everyone wants what they don't have. And, when you live in Manhattan, there is little you don't have at your fingertips - especially food-wise.
Not so, in the outerboroughs - even where there is moolah to spare.
Case in point: the Brooklyn neighborhood of DUMBO. Considering that the area can lay claim to several new über-expensive, luxury highrises under development, it sports only one small grocery outlet. Mind you, both Jacques Torres' chocolate shop and Almondine bakery are in the 'hood, but man cannot live on chocolate and baguette alone. (Or can he?)
Well, Gothamist has learned that changes are afoot. Capitalizing on the rich Yuppie fascination with healthy eats, a new, sizeable natural food store is under construction on Jay Street - Bridge Fresh. Will this be enough to satify DUMBO's hip, wealthy and elite? Somehow, Gothamist thinks that DUMBO residents won't be giving up their Fresh Direct accounts anytime soon - or deleting the chocolatier or baker's addresses from their Palm Pilots. That said, Gothamist will be there to report, once Bridge Fresh opens their doors.

While we're talking about groceries, can we figure out what's going on with the Trader Joe's supposedly appearing in Union Square? It's not listed as "Coming Soon" on their site. Someone do the digging for me!
I'd love to see a Trader Joe's in NYC. It's something I really miss from California.
What is Trader Joe's? I'm an East Coaster, sorry.
Pish, this market in DUMBO won't have near the effect of the Whole Foods slated to open in G-Slope on the corner of 3rd Avenue and 3rd Street. That place is going to be rammed with both Smith Streeters and Park Slope-eyes. Bye bye Co-op!
Hear that? It's the sound of tiny violins crying for the DUMBOners. It's only a matter of time before Whole Foods moves into that neighborhood.
There are Trader Joe's all ove the East Coast as well as the West.
In short, they're a very affordable grocery store that stocks lots of natural, organic and generally great-tasting food. They make food shopping fun.
Because it's our experience that Whole Foods/fresh Direct always go where they're needed? Like all the Whole Foods in Brooklyn? I don't think so. No matter if you're in DUMBO or Bushwick, not having a grocery store nearby SUCKS. Fresh Direct won't even deliver to 11206.
Stop being so classist and think about the issue.
