TJ’s Plants in NYC
I suppose it’s only fair.
Hollywood gets a Beard Papa’s and so Union Square gets a Trader Joe’s. The New York Times’ Florence Fabricant writes:
Specialty grocer Trader Joe’s will open a store near Union Square in about three months, a spokeswoman said yesterday, confirming a year’s worth of reports that the national chain would join a growing list of food stores along 14th Street.
When do we get a Dean & Deluca?

They’ve got a Whole Foods in Union Square now, and when I was there in October, the locals seemed to know TJs was on it’s way. Besides, I’d rather we get a The Hummus Place: awesome Jerusalem-style hummus and big puffy pita. I LOVE NY!
Speaking of which, I’m sure Angelenos could have found the perfect low-rent strip mall for the 2nd Ave. Deli. It didn’t have to die.
I know! I want a Dean and Deluca’s in LA!!! I’ve been to the one up in Napa Valley but that’s sure one heck of a drive from LA! I say we start a petition. ;)
What a funny picture!
You want Dean & Deluca’s, you can have it. The only thing special about the place, as far as I’m concerned, is the astronomical prices ($4.50 for 1.5 ounces of cumin) and the fact that they HATE it when people ask to taste something before buying (who spends $30 per pound on a cheese without trying it first?).
You take Dean & Deluca, we’ll keep Sahadi’s, Kalustayan’s, Fairway & Fresh Direct.
PS: Thanks for Trader Joe’s!
