Last night I discovered Berkeley Bowl and I am in love! To my NYC Upper Westside Crew - Berkeley Bowl makes Fairway look like Waldbaums. It is twice as big (as the 125th market) and has rows and rows of exotic fruit and veggies. And as for variety, for example, they don't just stock fresh mint - they stock four kinds of fresh mint. The interesting - tho not surprising -- cultural difference is that BB focuses on more items for cooking from scratch and Fairway has more prepared gourmet items. They have three aisles of bulk food alone.
So, my apologies Fairway, I feel a bit like a disloyal Upper Westsider- but alas, you can no longer claim to be like "no other market".
