Union Market

Great market that has lower prices than Whole Foods and similar type of produce. Make sure you grab easy dinner to-go with a $9.99 Chicken Dinner special with two sides!

Usually a good meat and seafood deli selection . Scallops , salmon and steaks .

This place goes nuts with free samples - cheeses , olives , gherkins , pastries , and soups . They're tasty, which helps wash away the guilt of not buying anything.

Yall- this place can be $$$ but here are the key items to buy 1) sirracha is $1 cheaper 2) the cheese section is OOC 3) mcclures Bloody Mary mix is $3 cheaper 4) homemade garlic hummus is da bomb

A great place for prepared food and everything you'd find at a Whole Foods but smaller and faster. Plus, tons of ice cream options!

Amazing selection. Free samples at the olive bar . On the pricey side but that's to be expected in this neighborhood .

This place rocks! Whole Foods quality without the Whole Foods prices! Great selection of vegetarian and vegan meals too!

Great price on Free Range eggs - $3. And definitely hit up the olive bar . My favourite market in the village .

The outstanding, fresh selection and upscale atmosphere keep me coming back despite equally upscale prices.

Great cheese and chocolate selection ! A bit overpriced but overall good quality of produce.

The produce is really beautiful and fresh. High prices on other stuff though. Come here to get your veggies

Glorious food and great range but be prepared to spend big if you're planning a full shop.

If you have anxiety at the mere thought of Whole Foods - try Union Market. Same price point, same quality food- smaller store with WAY less people.

I love the rotisserie chicken and two sides combo. At less than $10, it can't be beat.

Get yourself some Asher's dark chocolate covered graham crackers . Best treat ever. ????

Don't leave without picking some Grady's Cold Brew !!! Soooo good & addictive.

TomCat bread is delicious, cheese section is beautiful and soups are funky fresh

If you are a cheese lover Old Amsterdam's premium aged Gouda cheese . Try it out Next time you stop by. http://oldamsterdam.com

Expensive produce, but usually good quality. What do you expect if they are handing out free cheese and olive samples daily?

Great produce section, very nice cheese selection . They jam a lot of stuff into this store

It's like a little gem supermarket . I always pass by on my way to work

The best cheese selection east of 1st Avenue in the LES/East Village .

Great fish and vegetable selection!

Superb cheese selection and a wall (yes, you read that right) of coffee ....

They give out free samples of olives cheese and chips !

It's Whole Foods on steroids: crazy selection, less bullshit & less crowd.

Don't expect a Midwest grocery store , but for a good selection in the LES this is the place to go

Always pick up some Faux Gras when here. Sooooo delicious.

Great mushroom selection

@alicetiara says this place has all fancy things and no regular things

Like Whole Foods but smaller and with no lines or crowds. Big selection of cheeses .

Amazing cheese selection and free samples !!

Great market ! Good service experience

Awesome bread and soups !

Great cheeses and great prices.

Small on the outside, huge on the inside!

Great mushroom selection !

Really good market , but really expensive . Seems even more expensive than Whole Foods .

Impressive variety of food!

Not saving any money by going here over Whole Foods , but the selection is different and it's less of a pain to shop here.

So fresh and so clean , clean

It's very clean

Peaceful grocery shopping

Great Gouda

I'm never going to Whole Foods again.

Too expensive . And also my friend and I got food poisoning from the deli case.
