I don't want lots of people driving to or through my neighborhood to get to the restaurants. I don't want huge, ugly, dangerous parking garages. I don't want to live in an Urban Future that bends over backwards to accommodate suburbanites who can't take the train. There are a lot of parts of, say, Huntington or Eastchester that I can't get to easily by train and I don't see them doing anything to make it easier for me to go out there and shop. If they wanted to shop in Flushing easily, maybe they shouldn't have moved out to the suburbs in the first place.

Originally, they were a liquor store, way back when. Of course, here in NY, that's not so much of an issue. In CA you can get some pretty good wine in the $6-10 range, stuff you might pay $12-18 for normally. They were one of the first to offer things like almond butter. Their almond butter is the best price around, too. They have a lot of organic products (I was told once that they are one of the top organic product sellers in NY). TJs is a great resource for party foods, too. They have a great juice selection, lots of coffee, Plugra butter, pastas, cheeses, chocolates, and salsas. They also sell baking products, other dairy, great frozen vegetables, a selection or rice, and more. They provide good quality, convenient stuff. Do not go there for produce, though. And the organic stuff is always well-priced. I like the Hawaiian shirts and the people that work there are always friendly and helpful. They often have free samples available throughout the store. Every time I go there they have new offerings, which is fun. I also like their selection of energy bars and vitamins. I can also find a lot of things that are not fortified with high fructose corn syrup. There are a lot of reasons why I love Trader Joe's! But it basically boils down to great products at a good price. I've been shopping at Trader Joe's for 25 years now, yow. For me, Trader Joe’s offers a lot of interesting foods at a great price.
