Everyday City Living: Supermarkets in Upper Manhattan

The episode was recorded earlier this year, so there has been some small updates worth mentioning. Lidl on Frederick Douglass Blvd opened in February and has been a popular addition to the neighborhood- and to the city. Lincoln Market a few blocks north will be opening in about a month. It looks like a new tower will be rising on Amsterdam Avenue around 131st St – with a supermarket at the ground floor- replacing the previous supermarket that had burned town. Finally, at the end of the summer Food Bazaar just opened on 3rd Avenue and 125th Street, which helps the neighborhood a lot since the closing of Pathmark many years ago.
