    I love this local, family owned produce store in the Central Ave. Shopping area of the Heights…read moreneighborhood. It is small but has everything you need such as fruits, vegetables, some bread like Portuguese rolls, canned goods, eggs, milk, even cheeses and packaged cured meats like sausages and hams. No fresh meat or seafood but I go to Pampita Meat Shop (great Argentine and Americans cuts) and the seafood shop across the street for those. The price is great - I would buy 2-3 bags full of fresh groceries to feed two people for the entire week and more and the total still usually comes out under $50. When I was living on the other side of JSQ, I used to frequent another similar produce shop called "Mira Fruit & Farm" on JFK Blvd (I wonder if it's owned by the same person?) We are talking 4 grapefruits for $1, a package of blueberries for $1, a bag of 3 bell peppers for $1, 6 limes for $1 price range. Some things are pricier here, like bananas, which usually cost 69 cents or even 79 cents per pound when I can get it for 49 cents per pound at Shop Rite in downtown. Regardless, I like supporting small mom and pop businesses so I will continue to be a regular here! I like to juice at home often so this is a great place to source celery, cucumber, carrots, apples, ginger, lemons, beets at very affordable prices since I go through them quickly in large quantity. I have no doubt the owner of Young's Farm is Korean or at least Asian because they have a limited but good selection of Asian goods too like Korean Shin Ramyun and Vietnamese vermicelli noodles, fish sauce, sriracha, and jarred kimchi in the refrigerated section, etc. My tip would be to go there early on Saturday (before 9 am) because by the afternoon on Sat and Sun, all the freshest pickings will be gone. Also, while the prices are super cheap, look and pick carefully to make sure your box of berries doesn't have mold growing in it and try to pick the freshest one. Many of the packaged goods like berries, cherries, tomatoes that are outside the shop on the stall as "specials" are already in advanced ripe stage so eat within 2-3 days max. They are perfectly find to eat, just shorter shelf life. My guess is the store operates in a very similar way as some of these new delivery companies like Imperfect Foods and Misfits Markets do in terms of sourcing their products, by taking less "perfect" produce directly from farms and producers and resell at the store at cheaper costs. I always have good fun poking around what's available here at least every other weekend.

    Like most places on Central Avenue it has a Latin flair…read more Young's Farm is known for their fruits and vegetables in Latin cooking such as plantains, mangos, guavas, yucca and I even saw Aloe. My wife had to explain to me that Aloe is also used in cooking. I have only known it for treating burns. They also have a lot of Goya products. The woman that waited on me today was very helpful. I had gone in looking for strawberries and blueberries and was unable to find them. She told me they would be back in stock in the next couple of weeks. It is a nice little fruit and vegetable shop for your last minute items if you are on the Avenue. They have a good selection and their prices are reasonable. As for parking, try the Dunkin Donuts parking lot right around the corner or you can go behind Burger King. They have a large parking lot though you do have to feed the meter.

    There's a little oasis of food (Dominican Cuisine) nestled in this market. The food is…read moreauthentically Dominican and they offer other basic cuisine, all seasoned and prepared well. It's all set up buffet style giving you the opportunity to create a plate according to your taste and appetite for the moment. Breakfast is limited but very Dominican in offerings and flavor. The buffet caters to any appetite vegetarians, vegans, pescatarians and of course carnivores. Service consists of buffet attendants who keep the area very clean, they are helpful and menu knowledgeable, most importantly they keep the delicious cuisines coming out to replenish the empty trays at buffet steam tables. Ambiance is like no other... You're seated in the produce section of a market having a delicious meal community style. Limited seating is offered indoors just grab a seat and "buen provecho" enjoy your meal. A couple of tables are placed outside the main entrance for outdoor dining but it's not recommended unless you're in a rush to just sit, eat and run. It's both affordable and tasty so definitely Yummy Tummy here. If you have a bad meal here then blame yourself because you created the dish. NOW SHUT UP AND EAT!

    It's a OK grocery store - it's nothing special and the prices are actually a little more expensive…read morethan nearby grocery stores - but it's OK. I will *specifically* note that if you have a pet, consider going elsewhere, they do not like pets inside. My review will not be impacted by this pet advisory though, as it's not an important factor for most people, but, just wanted to emphasize it for those who may have a pet and need to get groceries.

    I recently visited Hoboken for the first time (no, really) and it was a rather hot day and I needed…read moreto hydrate and thankfully I ran across Natural and Plus. The outside looked like an old fashioned deli/grocery with tables/stands outside for fruit and flowers. However, once you step inside you see a deli that looks like one of the nicer ones you'd come across in Manhattan's West Village. Based on the other reviews I've read below, it seems like this space has been renovated recently. The buffet table I've seen mentioned is no longer there. The shelves look new(ish) and the items on shelves are very organized. On top of that, the selection is impressive. There was an entire section of hot sauces including Siracha. On another shelf were some fancy low sugar bags of granola (that cost $13.99 *each*). It is a bit cramped when you navigate the aisles, but it I didn't knock anything over by accident so it's not bad. I snagged a bottle of water and was thrilled when the cashier told me it was only $1. I'm so used to going to Target or Shop Rite and having to pay $2 something for a water. It was cool to see even if Natural and Plus sells fancier stuff, not all their prices are high. I'd happily go back to Natural and Plus to grab a drink (and maybe some fresh cut fruit). Check it out if you're in the area!

    I knew there were many diehard fans of the Riverview Farmers Market, and I had been curious about…read moreit for years, but had never made the trek up the hill to see it, since it would either require a substantial walk or an Uber/Lyft ride, neither of which seemed overly attractive. However, I recently had a free afternoon and saw that, though the market had ended for the season, they were holding a special holiday shopping event on that day that sounded like it could be a great time. So, we took a rideshare up to the park to see what all of the praise was about. The park was large, spacious, and offered amazing views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline. For that particular event, there were loads of vendors covering the bulk of the grounds, though still leaving plenty of space to navigate it without running into other folks. The sellers spanned multiple types of businesses, but they were mainly high-end crafts, candles and soaps, gourmet foods, and baked goods. There were a few produce vendors, but most of the items were non-perishables, which I prefer in a market, personally. In addition to those tents, there were a few local restaurants and food trucks selling various goodies and my favorite cocktail bar, The Alps, was offering boozy refreshments. In fact, they were even partnering with a neighboring hot chocolate stand to infuse their rich drinks with some alcohol. I purchased a Cinnamon Bun cookie from Sweat Bear bakery, which was covered with a layer of sprinkled cinnamon and stuffed with a sweet glaze. It was heavenly! Overall, we were very impressed with the quality of the items being sold and the creative atmosphere exhibited. Walking around the festivities in the park made for a relaxing and enjoyable way to spend the day.

    Love a good farmers market!!…read more Riverview farmer market is the best place to get your produce for the week. They also have a variety of stalls that carry baked goods, teas, pickles, meats (basically anything under the sun). Love going to Stony Hill Farm for veggies and greens. RH farms has the best heirloom tomatoes and fruits. Jane's matcha for the best iced matcha latte! Everyone is super friendly and it's a fun thing to do on sundays with the best view!
