With Long Island City getting a fancy new grocer, and a Whole Foods planned for 57th Street and Second Avenue, Roosevelt Islanders?sandwiched in the middle?are hoping a large vacant storefront in the Riverwalk development doesn't become the neglected isle's second Gristedes. Well, at least this guy is hoping for that outcome, based on his comments about the original Gristedes store: "Not to mention in the summer or maybe early fall when I was in there I heard the manager say right in front of me and other customers 'Wow, I really can't believe we passed that health inspection!' Since that day I have not shopped there." [Roosevelt Islander]
