BEST SUPERMARKET
WESTSIDE MARKET
2840 Broadway (212) 222-3367
www.wmarketnyc.com
Since 1965, when Greek immigrant John Zoitas
founded Westside Market, it has been the
supermarket of choice for many New Yorkers.
The family-owned business is known for the
quality of its products and service. Standouts
include its fresh produce, baked goods, cheeses,
deli, meat and specialty food items imported
from Greece, as well as prepared foods with
recipes by Maria Zoitas, who runs the kitchen
at all five of Westside Market’s Manhattan
locations. Westside Market points out that
evidence of its family roots and passion can
be seen everywhere at its stores, including the
dedication of John’s kids, who oversee the
supermarket’s daily operations today. So head
on down to one of its locations and see the huge
advantages of shopping at Westside Market.
BEST SUPERMARKET
(NATIONAL)
WHOLE FOODS MARKET
1095 6th Ave (917) 728-5700
www.wholefoodsmarket.com
It is no surprise that New Yorkers have voted
for Whole Foods Market as the best national
supermarket. After all, it is the go-to place for
delicious baked goods, fresh produce and meat,
as well as prepared foods. Another big favorite
are the salad, hot food and soup bars. The hot
food bar, in particular, represents a major
challenge for many shoppers, who always seem
to wind up taking more than they planned to
because it is usually so hard to choose from all
the options that they can’t help but try a bit of
almost everything. Tip: Use the scales in the
produce section to weigh as you go if you aren’t
in a hurry!
