Not like the others
Friday, May 19, 2006
This Food Emporium stands out from the rest in that it's nestled into the Queensboro Bridge, hence the unofficial nickname "Bridge Market".
Food Emporium overall has a reputation for being clean and being on the higher-end of chain supermarkets in the city. That more than applies to this branch. It doesn't have the feel of a supermarket, as it had to accommodate to the zoning of the bridge. As a result, huge windows and high ceilings giving you the feeling of being a gourmet market as you pick through fruits and scan the cases for your frozen meals. Perhaps it's just perspective, but this place just "feels" better than your typical supermarket, whether it's a Food Emporium or not.
