I live in Long Island City, headquarters of Fresh Direct. There's a giant screaming neon billboard for Fresh Direct in our neighborhood, as well as those dang posters all over our subway stops. Yet, the crazy thing is, they will not deliver to us (zip code 11101). This makes me insane. How they taunt me with their glistening photos of prepared lamb chops I can never have! Their website reminds me that I can go pick up an order at their warehouse. Yet Long Island City is a very spread-out, strange area. So while we're technically in the same hood, it is an isolated, out-of-the-way place I could not reach without a car. Recently I read in the Times that they're extending their delivery to the Hamptons. Yet they still won't come to me, their loving neighbor who'd gladly pay royally to get back the half of my weekend I spend toting heavy bags of Whole Foods groceries from Manhattan on the N train. What's up with these guys?
