Lidl comes into clutch, especially when it comes to their weekly sales. I usually go to the Downtown Brooklyn location since it's right across from Trader Joe's but on the rare occasion when I can drive and not worry about hauling cans and cans of chickpeas back home, I come to the Crown Heights location. It's located right on the corner of Empire Blvd and Bedford Ave, within walking distance to Prospect Park (B/Q) and Sterling St (2/5) stations. The store is extremely new and clean, and located on the second floor of the building. There is a parking garage attached that charges about $8/hr but there's usually free street parking available nearby. The staff are very helpful and friendly and everything is well stocked and neatly displayed. read more
