As Manhattan's first Wegmans opens, see NYC condos near high-quality supermarkets

By CityRealty Staff | From Get To Know Wednesday, October 18, 2023

Wegmans is the latest of a flurry of high-quality markets have opened in New York City over the last decade.

Wednesday, October 18 marks the grand opening of Manhattan’s first Wegmans at 770 Broadway in the space long occupied by Kmart. East Villagers were disappointed at Kmart’s sudden closing in 2021, but got over it quickly once they learned what would be replacing it: In addition to traditional grocery offerings, the new, two-level supermarket will feature a 94-seat seafood restaurant and 10-seat sushi bar (h/t 6sqft) in a space where details from the original Wanamaker’s department store have been restored. Forbes likens it to a food hall like Eataly in Flatiron or Harrods in London. New York’s first Wegmans location in Brooklyn Navy Yard broke records for opening-day sales, and social media shows Manhattan visitors lined up around the block before the doors opened.

“The community’s response to the opening of our Brooklyn store had an excitement and energy that you can only experience in New York City” – Colleen Wegman, President and CEO, Wegmans

Wegmans is well known for its high-quality offerings and exceptional customer service, not to mention excellent treatment of workers, but shoppers’ enthusiasm goes beyond that. No one likes to lug heavy bags of groceries for several blocks, let alone on public transportation, and convenience was especially at a premium at the height of lockdown. Moreover, close proximity to a grocery store can have a positive impact on a home’s value. The “Trader Joe’s effect” has long been bandied about in real estate circles, and hard data has emerged to back that up: A 2019 study by ATTOM Data Solutions found that homeowners living near a Trader Joe’s experienced an average home seller return on investment of 51 percent, and that those near Whole Foods experienced a 41 percent return on investment.

There was a time when some wondered if ultra-fast online grocers would upend the traditional grocery store, but that does not appear to have come to pass. Meanwhile, real estate developers and agents have come to recognize the importance of grocery stores and are now promoting their proximity as vigorously as they would a building's more over-the-top amenities. Below, we take a look at a number of buildings throughout the city with grocery stores within a few blocks, if not an elevator ride away. The buildings are ranked by the nearby grocery stores' Yelp rating.

Wegman's, 21 Flushing Avenue
Yelp rating: 4 stars

"A true slice of suburbia but in Navy Yard" - Sarah B.

When the first Wegman's in New York City opened in October 2019, transplants got up at five a.m. to be the first shoppers and part of the celebrations. Some were skeptical as to why one would do that, but were quickly won over by the impressive prepared food offerings, grocery items and recipes, and helpful staff. Additionally, the supermarket introduced a live feed to see if there's a line outside the store.

"A fancy and large Whole Foods compared to what I find on the West Coast, but hey, this is Madison Avenue!" - Beth C.

NoMad has long been celebrated for its restaurant options, but those who wish to eat at home had to trek a little further to Kips Bay. That changed in June 2022, when the Whole Foods in the base of 63 Madison Avenue opened to the public. In addition to a specialty department aimed at celebrating artisanal producers and cheesemakers, the store offers a Za'atar Mediterranean food counter, bar area NoMad 63, and a Cafe Grumpy outpost.

Trader Joe's, 2243 Jackson Avenue
Yelp rating: 4.5 stars

"About time! This area has needed a Trader Joe's for a while now...Every register is occupied by staff and they are quick and efficient." - Michael S.

Until June 2021, Long Island City residents craving Mandarin Orange chicken, Everything But the Bagel-seasoned snacks, or Cinnamon Sugar Bread could either trek to Rego Park or get on the subway from Manhattan with an armload of bags. The store's decor pays tribute to the local neighborhood, and residents appreciate the store's rich selections of produce, cheese, beer, and flowers. The "Trader Joe's effect" has clearly worked on The Prime, the condos on top: The building is sold out as of this writing.

"Oh Trader Joe's, my favorite grocery store in the U.S., you've finally arrived on the Upper East Side!" - Old Fart M.

Rendering via MADDD Equities LLC for Landmarks Preservation Commission

Six years after the Food Emporium under the Queensboro Bridge closed, Trader Joe's opened its doors where Midtown East gives way to the Upper East Side. The Bridgemarket space's landmarked status required a few Landmarks hearings, but the grocery store ultimately prevailed to the delight of locals. The space has been described as the city's most beautiful supermarket, and shoppers enjoy an airy atmosphere and abundant light.
