    I love this local, family owned produce store in the Central Ave. Shopping area of the Heights…read moreneighborhood. It is small but has everything you need such as fruits, vegetables, some bread like Portuguese rolls, canned goods, eggs, milk, even cheeses and packaged cured meats like sausages and hams. No fresh meat or seafood but I go to Pampita Meat Shop (great Argentine and Americans cuts) and the seafood shop across the street for those. The price is great - I would buy 2-3 bags full of fresh groceries to feed two people for the entire week and more and the total still usually comes out under $50. When I was living on the other side of JSQ, I used to frequent another similar produce shop called "Mira Fruit & Farm" on JFK Blvd (I wonder if it's owned by the same person?) We are talking 4 grapefruits for $1, a package of blueberries for $1, a bag of 3 bell peppers for $1, 6 limes for $1 price range. Some things are pricier here, like bananas, which usually cost 69 cents or even 79 cents per pound when I can get it for 49 cents per pound at Shop Rite in downtown. Regardless, I like supporting small mom and pop businesses so I will continue to be a regular here! I like to juice at home often so this is a great place to source celery, cucumber, carrots, apples, ginger, lemons, beets at very affordable prices since I go through them quickly in large quantity. I have no doubt the owner of Young's Farm is Korean or at least Asian because they have a limited but good selection of Asian goods too like Korean Shin Ramyun and Vietnamese vermicelli noodles, fish sauce, sriracha, and jarred kimchi in the refrigerated section, etc. My tip would be to go there early on Saturday (before 9 am) because by the afternoon on Sat and Sun, all the freshest pickings will be gone. Also, while the prices are super cheap, look and pick carefully to make sure your box of berries doesn't have mold growing in it and try to pick the freshest one. Many of the packaged goods like berries, cherries, tomatoes that are outside the shop on the stall as "specials" are already in advanced ripe stage so eat within 2-3 days max. They are perfectly find to eat, just shorter shelf life. My guess is the store operates in a very similar way as some of these new delivery companies like Imperfect Foods and Misfits Markets do in terms of sourcing their products, by taking less "perfect" produce directly from farms and producers and resell at the store at cheaper costs. I always have good fun poking around what's available here at least every other weekend.

    Like most places on Central Avenue it has a Latin flair…read more Young's Farm is known for their fruits and vegetables in Latin cooking such as plantains, mangos, guavas, yucca and I even saw Aloe. My wife had to explain to me that Aloe is also used in cooking. I have only known it for treating burns. They also have a lot of Goya products. The woman that waited on me today was very helpful. I had gone in looking for strawberries and blueberries and was unable to find them. She told me they would be back in stock in the next couple of weeks. It is a nice little fruit and vegetable shop for your last minute items if you are on the Avenue. They have a good selection and their prices are reasonable. As for parking, try the Dunkin Donuts parking lot right around the corner or you can go behind Burger King. They have a large parking lot though you do have to feed the meter.

    After finding out about this market on Instagram, I decided to swing by during the Journal Square…read morefestival. I can confidently say in terms of selection, this market is a winner. Food Story is your typical Korean market. - if you have been to H-Mart, Mitsuwa, or Ranch99 it's the same style and layout with many authentic Asian groceries sourced from overseas and a food court for fresh Korean and Japanese dishes like ready-to-eat Korean fried chicken, poke bowls, and sushi. To my surprise, they have a wide selection of Japanese foods, more so than HMarts. And they have Korean-style thin-cut frozen meats in a fridge near the rice section - but they don't have a butcher section, so temper your expectations. Although most of the groceries here are relatively expensive, their prices are mostly on par with regular prices at many Asian markets. But, other markets offer far better weekly sales - Food Story doesn't have a circular or website, so it seems they dont offer sales. I did however find some special discounted prices for random items throughout the aisles. One downside that stood up is that many of the price labels were misorganized and placed under the wrong items. So, take care to match the UPC or you may have a bad experience with the cashier at checkout (something that I saw some other reviewers complain about). Overall, Food Story is a solid addition to the neighborhood - a convenient, albeit pricey, option for Aisan good lovers.

    Sundays have become my favorite day of the week and starting my day at the farmers market plays a…read morevery big part. Every year the market gets better and better, and since the start of this seasons markets in May, it feels like the whole city gets here early and makes a Sunday at of it as well. Some can't miss vendors: -Between Two Slices. They make incredible and unique sandwiches that you just need to try. Get the chicken salad, it's my favorite. They even make homemade english muffins. They sell out early, like within the first 2 hours usually, so get there when the market opens closer to 10 if you can! -The newest plant vendor that sets up near the fountain. I got all of my herb and veggie plants from them this year and they are thriving. All incredibly reasonably priced as well. -The mini bagels! Cute, delicious, just as expensive as a regular sized bagel. Doesn't make sense but I am going to get them again next week. -The iced coffee stand also by the fountain! It's become a ritual to get a coffee before we start circling. -The bakery right at the park entrance (on Palisade Ave, across from Busy Bee). You can't miss the long line, but it will move fast. They have incredible sourdough bread and pastries. It's a great market with something for everyone and every need. Come with a list otherwise you might just get a little something from everyone.

    Riverview Farmers Market has exploded over the past few years. They started with just 12 vendors in…read more2021 and now have 68 vendors. This is probably the best farmers market I've been to in Jersey. The first reason is atmosphere. The park is recently renovated and the layout and pathways are perfect to setup stalls. The folks shopping here seem to be nice, neighborly people supporting local farms, buying break, and enjoying their Sunday. They have a community garden that hosts kids activities, plus a large park and splash pad. Across the street is an awesome coffee shop (my favorite in the neighborhood) Mod Cup, and you'll find Bread & Salt one block away. Secondly, there's a great variety in vendors. Flower stalls, a very popular matcha stall (visit her pop up at The Alps instead), farms, dog treats, bagels, pickles. fresh pasta, bakeries with 5 different kinds of sourdough... Good stuff. If you're in the vicinity, I highly recommend spending a couple hours here on Sunday. Worth the trip!
