I love Whole Foods and it makes the Columbus Circle area so much fun. Whole Foods has an amazing selection of produce and meats and packages yummy things - but perhaps the most fun is the prepared foods. There are two huge salad bars with hot and cold salad items including everything from baby spinach to frisee to artichokes to couscous to different kinds of tofu. There is an Indian section of hot food - and the deli counter is amazing - there are sandwiches of all kinds. Ooo! and yummy pizza too! There's a coffee section, a wall of olives - mmm! It's so fun. Sitting, however is a challenge, because it gets really crowded.

This is my preferred Whole Foods, largely because the store is all on one level, making both intentional shopping and random browsing much, much easier. It also doesn't have near the traffic jams and lines that I've encountered both at the Union Square and Columbus Circle incarnations. For those of you unfamiliar with Whole Foods, it's often referred to as "whole paycheck" as it's easy to spend a lot of money there very quickly. That said, most of the store brand products are excellent and bargains besides, and with the pricier items -- the quality is great and you couldn't find it anywhere else (i.e., cheddar horseradish spread). The meat and fish counters are especially good, and check out the "two-bite" deserts -- brownies, pecan pie and more.

More inviting than your usual healthfood store; not as daunting as Whole Foods. Huge health-oriented supermarket with nice produce, lots of ready-to-eat packaged meals, hot soups, juices, just about every brand you can think of in canned and frozen foods and a large vitamin / health and beauty section. Helpful staff, too.

Some places talk gourmet, act gourmet, look gourmet...but are they really gourmet? This place IS gourmet, even though it might not look like it at first glance. This is a simple store with no semblance of decor and a sometimes surly staff who are extremely knowledgeable. But understand that the food here is what matters, nothing else.
It is definitely on a smaller scale compared to other food shops, but the produce, cheeses, and pastas here are unbelievable. Cuts of cured Italian meats will probably never make it to your fridge, as you'll be sneaking a slice here and a slice there, until it's gone by the time you get home.

If you're a vegetarian, you can probably eat for a week on what you'd get here for twenty bucks. This no frills market under a tent has lots of variety and prices are less than half of what you'd pay elsewhere. They have a good selection of fresh produce, along with sundried tomatoes, honey, pasta, coffee and some baked goods. Sometimes the fruit isn't as cosmetically perfect (A friend calls this place Pathetic Produce.) but more often than not what you'll get here is better than at the grocery. Bonus -- the people who work here are friendly.

This little Tribeca pharmacy recently expanded and the interior is now much brighter and more spacious.
For a relatively small drugstore, they have a wide array of OTC medications, creams, cold/allergy pills, etc. and an area where they sell greeting cards and the more organic products like shampoos and creams.
My insurance allows me to fill prescriptions here at a reduced cost. The first time I went, I was a little nervous - it looked like someone's teenage daughter was in charge, and the pharmacy area seemed very small, but she was very on-the-ball, processed my prescription quickly, and, all-in-all, it was a much better experience than the long waits at CVS, and the random Duane Reade support.

It's so great to have a place to buy all farm fresh dairy products. The ice cream is insane and the yogurt is superb. Sometimes, if you're lucky, they will have their fresh mozzarella in. But the best thing is to buy the farm fresh milk that comes in the cool glass milk bottles that you get with a deposit that is returned to you when you return the bottle to them.
