I don't like it because driving around all the trucks in my quaint-streeted neighborhood is really tough, not to mention that it seems to stamp "yuppie" on the forehead of the receiver, and I'd rather support the local immigrant grocers anyway.Ragehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310102856263393174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214642.post-1121805182926027172005-07-19T16:33:00.000-04:002005-07-19T16:33:00.000-04:00well.

Maybe the sole thing I miss about living elsewhere in the country, nice, clean, big, wide-aisled, varied-stock grocery stores...and helpful little old men in the produce and deli areas. sigh.<BR/><BR/>Every time I go to the local place it's like gastronomical roulette. Never ever will I find the same product twice, so I've learned the buddhist skill of not becoming attached to a favorite product. <BR/><BR/>But Stop n Shop doesn't have any decent ethnic groceries. Hello, we're in Queens?! I can't live on triscuits alone...<BR/><BR/>As for FreshDirect?

I really thought that they'd been banned by Bloomberg or something (maybe as a result of London winning out for Olympics 2012).<BR/><BR/>Haven't used Fresh Direct, and didn't realize that it's a NYC thing only (was looking for friends elsewhere).
