Recession Special

by optli97

This lovely little grocery hidden under the Port Authority has all the convenience of a large corporate supermarket, with the charm of a Mom & Pop shop circa 1955. Upon entering, a would be customer is engaged by lovely smiles and friendly conversations with Big Apple's knowledgeable and courteous staff. Most notably among them is the ever charming Virginia. Feel free to say hello, she can most often be found loitering in front of the main entrance, shouting in broken english on her pre-paid nextel with a Newpo' dangling from her lip.

When it comes to prices, Big Apple won't be beat and when it comes to hygiene Big Apple strictly adheres to the 5 second rule.

• Pros: Bi Lingual Staff

Why not stamp your meats with expiration dates?

by VirGules

Big Apple Meat Market sells no prime meats. It sells choice or a lower grade. It does not stamp any expiration date on its meats/poultry. Its sales flyer is only a suggestion as they run out of stock quickly and will not sell a substitute or give you a rain check. If you don't like your dog, buy its meat here.

• Pros: It gives you a chance to visit a refrigerated room: cool in summer and warm in winter.
• Cons: Everything.

DIRT CHEAP

by julie719

We love this place for all kinds of meat and for anything packaged. It's definitely not gourmet, but has lots of random, hard to find products and everything is SUPER cheap! Plus, the farmer's market is right next door, and is also amazingly cheap. Fabulous for dinner party supplies, and they sell a bunch of stuff in bulk. Great find!

• Pros: VERY cheap, conveniently located
• Cons: slightly sketchy, limited selection
