This is not true, unless you’re including Harlem and FiDi. Manhattan stores are pricy, I permit that, but that’s not for a lack of competition.
Have you ever lived in Manhattan?
- rayiner 7y agoYou just names two large sections of Manhattan, where a lot of the cheaper apartments are. Add to that parts of the UES and Hells Kitchen. I lived at 89th and broadway. We had a grocery store nearby, but there are definitely parts of Manhattan that don’t have a real grocery store within a 5 minute walk.
- alephnan 7y agoFair enough.
- wcunning 7y agoHarlem (140th give or take) was the only place I could find a decent grocery store that wasn't outrageously expensive. I was fortunate enough to live about 10 minutes from it, though I was not pleased that that's one of the few places left on Manhattan that still has significant hills.
