Drives me nuts hearing about "food deserts" in this NYC-owned grocery store discourse. NYC does not have food deserts. It has expensive, low-quality groceries. The first city-owned store (La Marqueta) is in the middle; every red pin in a full-service grocery store. Not a bodega, not a greengrocer.

I think the argument for East Harlem as a “food desert” is the weakest of all the neighborhoods given your map and also it’s basically the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
