Union Square is home to New York City's flagship Greenmarket. Here customers not only have access to homegrown produce, pretzels, meats, cheeses, jams and honeys but a chance to meet the local farmers, bakers, and harvesters behind them. Much of the fare is organic or naturally-grown, and all of it is local.

Bringing organic groceries to the Island, and providing a variety of fresh juices, smoothies, a salad bar and deli. Stroll down Main Street on a Saturday morning for a delicious coffee and pick up fresh flowers with your freshly made baked goods and pizza.

Hip shoppers depend on Trader Joe’s for natural, organic, and prepared foods with an ethnic twist. The biggest appeal, however, is the excellent house label, which offers delicious, affordable alternatives to name brand products.
