Wegmans Astor Place
After several years, Wegmans has landed at Astor Place, 770 Broadway. If you’re a grocery store aficionado in this area, this is Disney World. Here’s the takeaway: The Sakanaya, Japanese "fish counter" is truly impressive with some decent prices. This fish market will be a draw unto itself. There have been complaints online about how meat centric the store is. Indeed, I found many of the prepared foods to be non-organic, meat based. There are some good vegetarian and vegan options if you look for them. The gluten free Veg Gyoza was fresh and reasonably priced at $7.00.

Perhaps this canny writer was thinking about Cynthia Erivo and Ed Sheeran for Opal and Nev, surrounded by a strong ensemble cast. Hope so. As for Daisy Jones & the Six: the novel shimmers, while the Prime Video adaptation whimpers.
