Wegmans
15 Woodbridge Center DrHuge supermarket, very good produce. They have parking.
This is well outside my Brooklyn neighborhood, but it's not on many visitor's radars, so I think it's worth pointing out. It's a wonderful, weekly food market where you can eat street food from anywhere: Tibet to Taiwan to Portugal to Romania to Greece to Jamaica. It attracts an equally diverse, laid-back crowd. It's quite a trek, but worth it!
