Fairway Market

Plan your grocery list before you go or you will be run over. Also, beware old ladies or else you'll run one over. Pause halfway through at the olive bar to compose yourself. Then continue.

The deals on meat/poultry and fresh produce make this grocery destination worth it! Great place to stock up on chicken breasts . Later in the evening is the best time to go!

Pick your battles regarding when you visit as it can be quite crowded at times, especially since the closing of the nearby West Side Market & Duane Reade.

This is the best Fairway in the city as far as selection goes. The layout is a little crazy and it can be difficult to maneuver the aisles , but it's worth the trouble.

Maine Wild Blueberry Crisp Gelato is made with milk from Maine farms , blueberries from Down East, vanilla beans from Madagascar, and crunchy oat streusel baked in Brunswick.

You can find everything you need and they have lots of products from all over the world. Fair prices compared to other supermarkets in the city .

Controlled chaos - great prepared foods, excellent produce and some pretty nice people too. A good grocery stop.

Excellent selection, but no wine

Clean and ample beer selection upstairs plus separate self-checkout registers to avoid the lines downstairs.

Love the granola options on the second floor. Cheaper than whole foods. They also carry sesame sticks and corn kernels in bulk bins. Good variety of international fruits . Cheap soups .

Rotisserie chicken salad and the London broil at the deli counter are both worth the wait. Was double-charged for an item and Crystal at customer service fixed it with a lovey demeanor.

This two-story wonderland has all the supermarket essentials plus pretty much everything you’d find in a specialty food store. Read more

I drizzle Silver Spring wasabi sauce (at fish counter) on my chilled crab cake (also at the fish counter) for a quick snack . It's an amazing combination!

There's a weird long line for the registers but it moves pretty quickly. A bit of a grocery farm with too many workers in the way because of the small aisles ...but that's New York City !

I love Fairway, but the cafe upstairs is not so great at this location if you want to bring something from downstairs bought at the market to eat there.

If it's crowded , head to the deli counter first to get a number ticket and then grab some of the other items on your list while you wait to be called. That line gets crazy long!

Try pairing the grilled salmon (chilled at deli counter ) with stuffed grape leaves (at the self serve cold salad bar ).

A reliable breakfast spot on the Upper West Side that also serves a great lunch burger and hot fudge sundae .

Has great freshly squeezed orange juice and really good fruit . It also has an amazing selection of cookies and foreign candy .

Good selection of coffee and cheese . More expensive than Trader Joe's down the street but more of a selection of brand names and more variety of products if this is important.

The butchers here are amazing! If you can't find something on the shelves, they will find some more in the back or cut it fresh for you.

Always come here for shopping, usually has everything I need. Also they have a large variety of freshly grounded coffee .

Fabulous market , fabulous deli counter and prepared foods.

You can pick up all the ingredients you need to bake a delicious chocolate cake or cookies at Fairway, including SCHARFFEN BERGER chocolate !

Great heath food and vitamin shop on the second floor!

Best grocery store in Manhattan. Avoid during rush hour - it's a madhouse!

This store is located in such a great area to relax with a bottle of Sokenbicha and enjoy the beautiful New York scenery!

favorite grocery store in the city ! you can find any and every coffee you could imagine here and cheap !

Forced to sit on uncomfortable bar chairs at a tiny bar table with plants basically in my face. Crammed near Customer Service. WAY too tight! Need more space! AC also turned up way too high.

Go on off hours. Night time, monday's etc. This place is a nightmare but has everything you could ever want. Prices are the best in town .

Don't forget the elbow pads.

agree with others for going during off-hours to avoid getting hit by the leg with those carts. The newbies get so lost for not following the unspoken rule of finding the end of the register line ...

closes at 1am. every thing is fully stocked and there's no crowd at midnight. go late!

Great produce selection and open until 1am. Shop late to avoid lines .

Another great spot to find groceries , although a little south from campus.

this is the spot for groceries . fairway is my shit

best time for shopping here is late at night just when fresh produce in coming in and those dreaded long long lines are non-existent.

They have amazing pies ! Everything fresh. It's like While Foods for people on a budget!

Want smoked fish ? Wait here, it's a separate line from the deli

Beware. They leave fruit outside day and night in the heat.

Their own brand soy cheese (hidden on the bottom shelf in the regular cheese section downstairs) is impossibly good and impossibly cheap !

Get the fantastic freshly ground peanut butter in the natural/organic section upstairs.

Great coffee selection. Try the Fairway dark organic blend

Absolutely crazy amount of imported food. I'm from UK and found it all! Also, be prepared to bump and jostle your way around. Very unorganized aisles and check out system.

Use the app to check out fast. No cashier !

I try to go either very early or after 8pm. Weekends are a cluster.

Crowd is exceedingly obnoxious, yet experiencing it each time I enter is pretty addictive. Agree; possibly the best selection of organic food . Luv it.

Great grocery store . Wonderful organic section . Watch out for the deli counter - it's like thunderdome!

This place is amazing. After 9 no lines . Got everythin I needed plus everythin is so frresh. I can't believe I wasted my time at food emporium and no one told me about this place which hhas everythin

Try the lemon meringue pie , the awesome peach & blueberry cobbler !
