LOVE the 6th avenue location. Roomier than 14th st. My go-to for party shopping. I always get the burrata cheese, the cold cuts , the dark chocolateginger and the orangechocolate strips.
Way better laid out than the gramercy location, quick and friendly staff and unique items. Also, if you're looking to make a quick easy dinner they sell the absolute best store bought pizza dough
The line may seem intimidating at first, but it moves quickly. Much better option than Whole Foods a couple blocks away. Produce moves quickly, so you know nothing sits on the shelves too long
Great variety of healthy meal options and snacks. If you're looking to eat well, you can pick up some key foods here to add to your grocery list and in expensively. Only downfall are the LONG lines.
Avocados were cheaper here than my usual grocer in the UES. I usually pick up 'healthy' snacks when I get a chance to shop here -- too far for weekly trips. Tried their Challahbuns, I've had better.
The best TJ in the city. All one floor. Good coffee & munchies like pizzas on offer always. Find the fresh produce here better than other TJ's, also wider variety.
Pro tip: for workday lunchtime shopping, use the buddy system. 1 person immediately gets in the line that's wrapped around entire store, other does shopping. Queueing person may want to bring a book..
Go to the frozen foods section and take a look at the fish selection. Mahi Mahi, Ahi Tuna and Swordfish vacuum packed at really low prices. This is a great place for basics like eggs and milk.
Best to go at off times as it gets crowded (e.g. in the mornings on the weekends). The Greek yogurtspinach dip, green goddess seasoning, and salmon are fan favorites in this household
Best TJ's in the city. Wide aisles, a layout that makes sense, plus they have the small two-level shopping carts that are inexplicably absent from the (much smaller) UWS location!
A must try: the chilicheesetamales are absolutely delicious. Pair it with their lime and habanero salsa and some sliced avocado - all from Trader Joes!
Cut you some flax. Try adding flaxseed or its oil to your meals. Trader's has it golden roasted, milled, whole, in cereal, in oatmeal. The health benefits are plentiful and the taste is yummy.
Best Trader Joe's in Manhattan, hands down! Easiest to navigate and line didn't conflict too badly with shopping areas unless it's lunch time or a Monday!!
There's a big section of fruits and vegetables near the front. If you run into the store at full speed, you might miss it. Don't! There's some good food here.
Great place to stock up on gluten-free essentials. Ask customer service for their list of gluten-free products. Also, look for the "g" on the label indicating no gluten ingredients. Read more
Love love love this place!!! Try the pies! Hummus! Grilled chicken!! My mom loves the fish fillet! I love the chicken pesto genovese! Oh i love every single item in this place. :)
This is a much larger store than 14th Street and the one on 73rd at Brdwy. Long lines, but that's nothing new. Great store and friendly-as-f*ck service.
The lines are a nightmare in the later afternoons and evenings, but this is probably the best organized NYC store and a great lunch spot if you're close!
Well, they consider chicken to be meat. And as a vegetarian I like this distinction because often Americans say chicken is poultry not meat. (That makes no sense to me.)
It's almost Easter which means TJ's gourmet jelly beans are back in stock! With flavors like pomegranate, pink grapefruit and blackberry Stock up before they are gone!
the management is very accommodating to people with food allergies. I was given a comprehensive guide to gluten free foods in the store! if you have a special dietary concern, tell the captain!
Trader Joe's: a neighborhood grocery store with amazing food and drink from around the globe and around the corner. Great quality at great prices - that's what we call value.
