Foodtown of Hastings — Attraction in Town of Greenburgh

I frequent the Palisade Avenue store in Yonkers. However, they miss the mark when it comes to customer service in their deli. Therefore I thought I would try Hastings. Well, just like the Yonkers store, the Produce section is overstocked, thereby creating bad product because of the lack of good refrigeration or too much of it. Their prices are ridiculous.

The bakery is especially good, as is the produce and beer selection. The staff is a notch above what we had at A&P, and they're really courteous and helpful. I hope they stay in business a...
