Living in New York City we’re often asked “how do you go grocery shopping?” This is definitely one of the top five questions asked of urbanites from non-urbanites. It’s a legitimate question since food is a basic necessity and all. We’re not sure what our questioners expect, but most likely it’s some sad tale of trekking uphill in the snow with a cart overflowing with goods, dodging out-of-control cabbies left and right just trying to make it home in one piece. They seem bewildered when we inform them that we get our groceries delivered right to our very doors! Yuppie as it might sound, it’s true. FreshDirect is our online grocer of choice in the greater New York metro area. You select the food, the payment method, and the time slot for delivery- A modern day milkman if you will!
Fresh Direct has a wide variety of high-quality products at reasonable prices. They offer organic items, locally grown items, kosher items, and the big brand name items. The website has great features such as “quick shop” which saves all your prior orders. This makes reordering a cinch. FreshDirect also has great customer service. Anytime we’ve ever had a problem with an order (smushed bread, spilt milk) we’ve just simply made a call and their representatives can either refund you or give you a credit towards your next order. No questions asked! FreshDirect is a time saver, convenient, and reliable. No, FreshDirect did not pay us for this post! We just really, really like it and don’t know how we’d survive without it! In our humble opinion, it’s possibly the best thing to happen to the city since the subway!
