Groceries Online Catching On In NYC

from the seems-popular dept

The online grocery market has certainly gone through its share of ups and downs. However, over the past few years there have been a bunch of stories about a next generation of online grocery stores that seem to be getting more traction. One of the more famous is FreshDirect in New York City -- where online grocery shopping makes a lot more sense. Apparently, residents there agree, as a new study shows that more than half of NYC residents have tried online groceries -- though, that doesn't mean they all have been happy with it. Still, it does suggest that there's demand for such a service in some places (especially urban), if it's done right.

    Making the city more livable

    NYC is full of small, dirty stores offering limited merchandise -- one has to build a formidable database of where to buy various items, not to mention the time wasted going to different stores. This will make the city more livable -- though I still wouldn't want to live there.

    Good, because New York doesn't want you to live there.

    I hope it makes New York more liveable. It would be nice for all the New York retirees to *stay* in New York rather than moving here and constantly telling me how 'nice' it was there.

    New York is very livable. What it isn't, however, is affordable.
