Essentials
Gristedes
3 Sheridan SquareThis is the local supermarket - a bit overpriced, but good for basics!
They are open 24 hours, and have a pretty good selection - and comparable prices to Gristedes!
All In One Mart

This is a great place to go for groceries- though the line can be long and it can be chaotic on the weekends! They have another location on 23rd street that involves less walking if you take subway.
