Über-Supermarkets

While most people don't want to visit a supermarket on vacation, sometimes exceptions should be made.  These stores are no ordinary food markets, but Über-Supermarkets.

Whole Foods
Whole Foods which mainly carries natural and organic foods has six locations in Manhattan.  However, the best Whole Foods to visit is its flagship at The Time Warner Center.  Upon descending down the escalators you will enter a food store unlike few others.  Whether you are looking for sushi, premium coffee, Icelandic chocolate, or organic spices, you will find it here.  Whole Foods is expensive, but it can be cheaper than restaurants as there is a prepared food section and small area with tables to eat your meal.

Zabar's
Zabar's has been located on the Upper West Side for over 70 years.  While it carries many typical supermarket foods it also has a wide range of some food items such as coffee and cheese.  Zabar's has been featured in numerous TV shows and movies over the years.  The store which is small and crowded also has a surprisingly large housewares section upstairs.
