Metropolitan Citymarket — Local services in New York

This is one of the few neighborhood supermarkets that is reasonably stocked.

Unfortunately there are also many flaws that are hard to ignore: -Lot of product on the shelves is past its due date. Always check. They don't seem to do so themselves. -A vast majority products are not labeled at all. I regurlarly return items at the cashiers when it turns out that a product is not priced to my liking. It's an annoying inconvenience and I suspect this is a strategy to charge more because people might not have picked up an item knowing the actual price but shrug it off when they are a the check out counter. -The prices are more often than not horrendous.

But i wont be going here anymore unless i truly truly have no other choice and it wont be for any items where freshness could be questioned. I hope they read this and make...

We were just visiting for the week but found this to be a very well stocked local market. Having shopped at similar places in many countries and counties, we were surprised at the selection.

Prices varied from “oh no”, high to “dang I wish I could get this price at home”, low. We found everything we needed at good prices and were treated with welcoming friendliness.

The egg & cheese with bacon is delicious and at $4.00, a great deal. If we lived in the area we would likely do “big shopping” At a larger store with overall lower prices and use this as our local place to pick up immediate needs. The sandwich/food counter has a large selection featuring Boars Head meats, so the quality is on point. We will be packing sandwiches for the plane ride home.
