Images from WNBC and WABC The police are looking for a man suspected of stabbing two Key Food employees, one of whom died at a hospital two hours after the afternoon attack. Other employees at the East Village store say James Gonzalez, a part-time maintenance worker, stabbed ex-girlfriend Tina Negron with a 10-inch knife, because he was upset over their breakup. Negron had been in the elevated manager's booth when Gonzalez apparently attacked. Bookkeeper......

The latest crowdsourcing project from WNYC's Brian Lehrer Show asked people to find out prices for a quart of milk, a head of iceberg lettuce, and a 6-pack (bottles) of 12-ounce Budweiser. Listeners of his show found locations around the area, reported back with their results, and it's all put in a handy map. Most expensive milk: Pathmark in Gowanus and Garden of Eden in Brooklyn Heights at $2.99 Least expensive milk: Fine Fare......

There's a somewhat surprising article in the NY Times about many supermarket baggers fighting to get paid wages. It turns out that some supermarkets don't actually pay the people bagging groceries, considering them "volunteers." That leaves the baggers to rely solely on tips. While the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union tells the Times that the problem is mainly at ethnic supermarkets, the article mentions incidents at Associated and Pioneer Supermarkets in Brooklyn. (Apparenlty Gristedes......

Fifty pages of murder suspect Paul Cortez's diary were read aloud by prosecutors. Cortez, who is on trial for the murder of ex-girlfriend Catherine Woods, had kept diaries as a teenager and had been writing in jail as well. Manhattan ADA Paul Casolaro read entries in a monotone, like:"Don't look back/ She's still not there/ The swan is gone/ She's in the air/I'm not the same/ I just can't bear/ The time you stole/My......

The Coupon Clipper scours the specials for the best deals in New York's big grocery stores. For the first week after the holidays, most grocery stores probably realized they had bludgeoned their customers enough with holiday sales and decided to play it cool. Food Emporium had a sale on gourmet chicken salad. Gristedes discounted bread. But Fairway apparently has no sense of shame. They lead off their post-holiday specials with $3.99 Sirloin, a price so......

The new city grocery chains are certainly vying for each and every single impressionable shopper with their glossy new stores and pretty, pretty produce. But Whole Foods is taking the fight into a new arena: They will be touting low prices in an upcoming ad campaign. It's practically like Every Day Low Prices - does that mean will we see BYOGOF (Buy One Get One Free), too? It seems Whole Foods is trying to extend......

Holy moly high wire insanity! The two Roosevelt Island tram cars, which got stuck starting at around 5:20PM yesterday, were only totally evacuated by 4:30AM this morning! There were a total of 69 passengers in the two cars, including children, babies, an elderly lady with a walker, and a dog, and five trips were needed to clear the cars. The NYPD, FDNY and emergency workers used a "diesel-powered rescue gondola" as well as an......

Gothamist was reading the obituary for Jo Foxworth, who wrote the D'Agostino jingle ("Please Mr. D'Agostino...move closer to me") and it got us thinking about jingles that stick in our head. It's a dying art form (just as TV theme songs that explain the title or character situations are practically gone). Jingles tend to be heard on the radio these days, and here are the most notable ones that come to mind: - Intelligent Energy's......

So, Trader Joe's will make its NYC debut with a location on East 14th Street. The NY Times reported that a spokeswoman the store would open around three month, "confirming a year's worth of reports that the national chain would join a growing list of food stores along 14th Street." Which made Gothamist wonder about the food stores along 14th Street. The article noted Whole Foods, Garden of Eden, Balducci's and the Greenmarket, but didn't......

People have been buzzing expectantly for months about the new 50,000 square-foot Union Square Whole Foods store, which opened this morning at 8 a.m. amid great fanfare, but without seeing the place it was hard to imagine what all the fuss was about. Sure, it's nice to have a good food store around, but there are three others within two blocks, all of which have "gourmet" and "healthy" items and a wide selection. The one......

Shoppers descended onto the Time Warner Center shops like vultures to a rotting carcass or fashionistas to a sample sale. Forgoing Gothamist's idea of slapping a glass roof over SoHo and calling it a mall (Banana Republic, Pottery Barn, Coach), developers at the Time Warner Center decided that walking around in circles indoors around well-known stores was better than walking on the city streets and discovering new shops. One city dwelling shopper told the Post,......
