Good Nature is an upscale bodega run and staffed by a medley of folks. They are NYC sharp in sleepy…read moreNew Haven. I'm a long time customer of Good Nature, long before the onset of the pandemic. And I've run the gamut with them - sandwiches, hot buffet, necessities, drinks, salads, etc. Let's start with my favorite - the hot buffet. Good Nature has had this since they took over from Gourmet Heaven, the predecessor. The food is hot, fresh and flavorful. Be careful - buffet by weight are a restaurant scam. They put tasty heavy things out to bring up the price. They, like 1000s of others, are preying on human nature. Don't complain if you filled up the tin. Use the smaller tin (not tin but styrofoam) and get better on your portion control. It is cheaper and healthier too. The deli counter is huge. Build your own, designed sandwiches, paninis, custom salads, you can cover every appetite here. Pro tip - order in person. Some staff are ESL and don't always get the write in via grubhub or snackpass for example. Plenty of chips and sides and drinks of every type are available. Second Pro Tip - check your drink when taken from the cooler. The coolers aren't always that cool and the cooler can or bottle might be 2d or 3rd in the rack. Good Nature has lots of other stuff from food, necessities, TP, fruit, baking and cooking ingredients, grocery items, salad dressings, sauces, as well many other so- called healthy things. Often these items are all priced at a premium. On the issue of pricing, when I wrote NYC Sharp, I meant it. In sleepy NHV and CT generally, people assume every one is honest to a fault. Given the mostly Spanish speaking staff and Asian ownership/management, both ESL, communication issues abound and I chalk up the pricing snafus to being sloppy, poor communication and general sloth. Because they have no real competition on this side of town, they set the market price and it is high, mostly on the grocery goods and drinks. The fresh foods are generally competitive and you only can blame yourself for piling up 2lbs of hot buffet. Almost forgot to mention - indoor seats for lunch as well as a few nice canopied tables outdoors.

While I was telling him about the lady robbing the candy aisle a man walked in and cleared out the red bull display by the register in clear sight of the security officer. The security person said I see him but I can't do anything. So Is everything in the store free now? ??
