Fairway

There is neighborhood deli at Teiman and Claremont Streets (I think it's Columbia Deli) and then along 125th street, east of Broadway, toward Manhattanville is another grocery store. But Fairway is the big grocery store. It's been there about 6 years. Professor Cutrie came out to NYC on Thursday. He will be the advisor next year. So we took him to Fairway. This grocery store is also located in Harlem, but on the west side of Broadway, almost to the river, almost under the expressway and about 1/2 mile north of the I-House. (Quint says it's 1/4 mile, but when you are carting the groceries home, uphill, it feels like a MILE.) We found out they deliver for about $7. So DEAL! Here's a photo from the outside. Then Jennifer in the refrigerated ROOM. It is so cold, they have jackets for you to wear. The meat, dairy, fish, and perishables are in there. Dressed for a hot day, I wore sandals. I thought I would lose my toes! The delivery was wonderful. It took about an hour. I only had to cart the bags upstairs in the elevator. Three trips with the stroller. On the last visit to the grocery store I broke the plastic spokes on our $14.95 K-Mart grandma cart. I did find a hardware store in Harlem that sells the sturdy ones. $24.95 for a 4-wheeled one. I found the hardware store on the walk home from the Post Office. That evening we went to Dinosaur BBQ. It's actually across the street from Fairway.(Becasue you can never walk up and down that hill too many times ina day!) We got lucky. Only a 45 minutes wait... that turned into an hour and 15 minutes. Great food. Grocery shopping, the post office... then Dinosaur BBQ. That was enough walking for Thursday. On the way home from Fairway, at the corner before the hill is the Cotton Club. Outside the nightclub during the day is parked a car I think is funny.
