53 Boerum

I admit I’m addicted to the convenience of Fresh Direct… there’s nothing like the doorman buzzing up and saying, “Your groceries are here,” and then a (most of the time) pleasant delivery person bringing the food right to our door. But sometimes I still long to smell the fresh veggies, squeeze the ripened fruits, and steal a few delicious jellybeans from the bulk candy department in a real grocery store. Around here, we’ve got the lovely — yet pricey — Garden of Eden on Montague, Key Food on Atlantic and a wide variety of smaller markets, but none of the big guys… yet. Whole Foods is opening up in the Slope, along with 200+ parking spaces. Trader Joe’s is supposedly moving in to 14th Street in Manhattan, and shopping for a Brooklyn location. With all the new residential construction going on, it’s only a matter of time until the 53BP area gets its first major grocery store… anybody hear any rumors?
