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. While the Vegan Mezze Bowl is $14.00, it can be stretched to 2-3 meals. The refrigerated Fettucine is gluten free. The Organic 2% Cottage Cheese with live cultures, at $3.99, rivals the Good brand, regularly $4.99. Looking forward to trying the Three Tree Oat Milk with seeds as a comparison to Trader Joe’s version.

The fresh carrot juice was $6.00, expensive compared to Trader Joe’s. but it’s cold pressed. They have cold pressed lemon juice and lime juice, for those who wish to shortcut working with lemons and limes.  Some cool-looking health shots too. The Maldon salt, a Nigella Lawson thing, was $6.99, readily available on the shelves, I would guess that’s a good price. I will try it next time around along with the house brand of plant-based yogurts.
