High-End Local Grocers

I posted a while back asking for recommendations on local grocery stores. It seems I was a little premature, since Clinton Hill Blog has compiled a nice little list of all the new upper-end grocery stores that are opening in the area. This is wonderful to see - it's nice not to have to trek over to Park Slope or Brooklyn Heights to find some exotic mustard that was made by hippies on the moon. L'Epicerie and Karrots aren't too far from me, and I'll give them a try soon.

My local mart is the C-Town on Dekalb and Taaffe, which is all right but a little too expensive and lacks good produce. It's still much better after the remodel, and the deli does a pretty good job.

Oh, and NYCPets.com on Myrtle just opened up the other day (or at least it was the first time I'd seen it open). Riley loved it.

Fresh Garden and Other Grocery Stores

Easy Being Greene pointed me to a Brooklyn Paper article about Fresh Garden, a new semi-organic grocer on Fulton St. Their verdict was that it was all right but a bit too epensive.

It brought to mind the question of where to grocery shop in our 'nabe? The closet grocery store to me is the C-Town on Dekalb and Taaffe. They remodeled it last year and while it's much better than it was when I first moved here, it's still nothing to write home about. The produce section is a little sad, and everything's too expensive. It does have a pretty nice beer selection, though, but again it's all too expensive.

If i'm up for a little walk, there's the Associated on Myrtle. It's a bit better than the C-Town, but again nothing special. It's better mostly because it's bigger so there's more of a selection. Across the street, though, is a great little "gourmet" grocer that I like going to. Pretty good produce and other sundries like sushi fixins, and the prices don't seem to be that bad. Can't remember the name of it at the moment, but it has a green awning.

Fresh Direct does deliver to the 'hood, and we'll use that from time to time if I'm make a big meal and I know I'll need things a few days ahead of time. Again, a little more expensive, but at least there you're paying for the convenience of delivery. I'd always been very happy with the quality of Fresh Direct's produce.

If I venture outside Clinton Hill, I'm likely to hit the Garden of Eden in Brooklyn Heights or the Fairway in Red Hook. Rumors abound of a Fairway at the Navy Yard, which would be fantastic.

So how about everyone else? Where do you like to shop?
