    Plan your grocery list before you go or you will be run over. Also, beware old ladies or else you'll run one over. Pause halfway through at the olive bar to compose yourself. Then continue.

    The deals on meat/poultry and fresh produce make this grocery destination worth it! Great place to stock up on chicken breasts. Later in the evening is the best time to go!

    Pick your battles regarding when you visit as it can be quite crowded at times, especially since the closing of the nearby West Side Market & Duane Reade.

    This is the best Fairway in the city as far as selection goes. The layout is a little crazy and it can be difficult to maneuver the aisles, but it's worth the trouble.

    Maine Wild Blueberry Crisp Gelato is made with milk from Maine farms, blueberries from Down East, vanilla beans from Madagascar, and crunchy oat streusel baked in Brunswick.

    You can find everything you need and they have lots of products from all over the world. Fair prices compared to other supermarkets in the city.

    Controlled chaos - great prepared foods, excellent produce and some pretty nice people too. A good grocery stop.

    Clean and ample beer selection upstairs plus separate self-checkout registers to avoid the lines downstairs.

    Rotisserie chicken salad and the London broil at the deli counter are both worth the wait. Was double-charged for an item and Crystal at customer service fixed it with a lovey demeanor.

    I love Fairway, but the cafe upstairs is not so great at this location if you want to bring something from downstairs bought at the market to eat there.

    Love the granola options on the second floor. Cheaper than whole foods. They also carry sesame sticks and corn kernels in bulk bins. Good variety of international fruits. Cheap soups.

    If it's crowded, head to the deli counter first to get a number ticket and then grab some of the other items on your list while you wait to be called. That line gets crazy long!

    Try pairing the grilled salmon (chilled at deli counter) with stuffed grape leaves (at the self serve cold salad bar).

    I drizzle Silver Spring wasabi sauce (at fish counter) on my chilled crab cake (also at the fish counter) for a quick snack. It's an amazing combination!

    A reliable breakfast spot on the Upper West Side that also serves a great lunch burger and hot fudge sundae.

    There's a weird long line for the registers but it moves pretty quickly. A bit of a grocery farm with too many workers in the way because of the small aisles...but that's New York City!

    The butchers here are amazing! If you can't find something on the shelves, they will find some more in the back or cut it fresh for you.

    Good selection of coffee and cheese. More expensive than Trader Joe's down the street but more of a selection of brand names and more variety of products if this is important.

    Has great freshly squeezed orange juice and really good fruit. It also has an amazing selection of cookies and foreign candy.

    Forced to sit on uncomfortable bar chairs at a tiny bar table with plants basically in my face. Crammed near Customer Service. WAY too tight! Need more space! AC also turned up way too high.

    best time for shopping here is late at night just when fresh produce in coming in and those dreaded long long lines are non-existent.

    Go on off hours. Night time, monday's etc. This place is a nightmare but has everything you could ever want. Prices are the best in town.

    Absolutely crazy amount of imported food. I'm from UK and found it all! Also, be prepared to bump and jostle your way around. Very unorganized aisles and check out system.

    They have amazing pies! Everything fresh. It's like While Foods for people on a budget!

    Another great spot to find groceries, although a little south from campus.

    Their own brand soy cheese (hidden on the bottom shelf in the regular cheese section downstairs) is impossibly good and impossibly cheap!

    Crowd is exceedingly obnoxious, yet experiencing it each time I enter is pretty addictive. Agree; possibly the best selection of organic food. Luv it.

    The lines are really disorganized. If you are strategic, you can look around and barely wait.

    Why should one buy berries here when they are left outside all day? Might as well buy from the nearby fruit cart at about half the price. If they want us to pay a premium price refrigerate them.

    agree with others for going during off-hours to avoid getting hit by the leg with those carts. The newbies get so lost for not following the unspoken rule of finding the end of the register line...

    they seem to have new carts. so during rush hour it's even more of a shit show.
