Whole Foods Market Thursday, November 20, 2008
This store is great because it is so close to home. It has very fresh ingredients. It has a great variety of organic foods too. It's very clean and the staff is terrific! However it is a little pricey.

This supermarket is cheap and always crowded. They have a lot of variety and a lot of sale items. The items I found to not be underpriced were the spices, they seemed to be the same as other supermarkets. However, I didn't have a chance to check out the fresh produce or meats.

  East West Asian Gourmet Market Wednesday, July 30, 2008
This place is huge!! As you go through the store there are aisles and aisles of Asian ingredients, it is a little overwhelming at first but the signs throughout the store help direct you. Make sure you go through the entire store so you can end up in the fish market. I have never seen anything like it. This part of the store is awesome, it has fresh fish with the heads still on, live crabs, and live snails. There are at least 2 people behind the fish there to assist and clean the fish for you. Their meat department isn't nearly as big but it has a good variety of pork.

  Spice It Up Wednesday, July 30, 2008
This store is like nothing I have ever seen. It so many different spices that I have never heard of before. It's awesome to be able to smell the different spices and learn about them. It is family owned and Laurence Bussin was a wonderful help. They also have a website online so you can order spices and have them shipped right to you.

  Suzan Deli & Grocery Wednesday, July 30, 2008
This is a very small convenience store which sells loads of Goya products, everything you can imagine. It's not very big inside but it does give you some pretty good choices.

  Indian Bazaar Wednesday, July 30, 2008
The major reason I love this store is for their customer service. Today I spent 25 minutes talking to the owner about how to use certain spices, for example which blended well with which. The selection of spices is good and they do have some fresh fruits and produce. The prices are reasonable too.

  Super 88 Monday, June 30, 2008
There's a slight funky smell when you first enter this store, but it is definitely worth the trips. This store has a huge selection and variety of Asian foods. I found items that ranged from fresh chicken feet and beef tongue to Thai curry pastes. Also I was able to find grape juice with the grapes in it. It's pretty easy to navigate through the store even with some signage written in Korean. The store hours are awesome too, open til 11PM.

  Tea Zone Wednesday, June 25, 2008
I love tea but I usually just make a cup at home - kinda boring. Now I found a store where I can find exciting teas. This store has so many possible combinations of teas, from a black earl grey tea, to ginger peach, to apricot cinnamon, just to name a few. I will definitely come back here, I want to try them all. Also the owner was very attentive to my needs, and helped me narrow down my choices! No more lipton tea bags for me!

  A & P Food Store Sunday, April 27, 2008
This store has a lot of fresh ingredients, but it does not have many rare ingredients. It is a little pricey because it is the closest store on the island for about 20 miles. It is also very crowded in the summertime.

  Pathmark Tuesday, April 08, 2008
This store is a bit out of the way for me but the times I have been there I have always found the food fresh and the ingredients plentiful. It is actually the cleanest Pathmark I have ever been inside of. It is a little smaller than most Pathmark's but I always find everything I am looking for.
