Area Grocery Store Brings Joy

The Met Foods on Bedford and Clarkson Aves. has officially opened.  Compared with other area grocery offerings, it is unadulterated Nirvana (it will be super special once they get their sign up).

At the time of our visit, the store's deli, fish and bakery areas were not fully installed.  Most shelves were stocked with a selection far superior to, say, the Associated on Flatbush.  The store was super clean (we're hoping not just because it's new).  We have high hopes.

Sorry for the slightly whacky photos - we succeeded at getting in and out unnoticed.   

And to pre-empt the critics:  Yes, taking the bus down to Stop n' Shop is too much effort for us.

Seriously, this appears to be a decent store.

It is a decent store, and for all my demands that you all try the B49 out just once, I sure appreciate the 2 minute walk from my apt. to the Met.

Also they must have listened to that recent NPR story b/c they are doing some serious racial profiling - just walk in there as a white person and see how long it takes the manager to ask you what organic foods you want stocked.

How do you get to the store? just tried calling and couldn't get directions from them--

I'm on Ocean Ave, between Parkside and Lincoln Rd. Which direction would I walk(?)

thanks in advance for help!
