The New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF)July 1, 2011The Food Emporium is a great place to get everything from fruit juice, to cookies to sandwiches. Check out their mini cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles! Every day is a good day for a cupcake! :DUpvote9Downvote
Don LewisJuly 22, 2011Great place, do not understand the comments about it being pricey? Where do these people shop the dollar store only? Prices here are great, fresh mixed salad for 5.25, fresh fruit bowls for 4.25...Upvote9Downvote
Lia Christila UOctober 11, 2013Prefer this than the one on upper west side. Downstair's kinda cramped though they have great selection of produce and frozen foods. Really like their sushi as well. 99 cents truu moo choco milk!Upvote1Downvote
Erica CarterJune 3, 2016For lunch or dinner the fresh salad bar, create your own salad, and sushi are great choices!Upvote1Downvote
Konstantin TruninFebruary 3, 2013Excellent place! Where else in Manhattan you can eat for 20$ for two person. Great selection of food with good quality. Recommend for budget eating!Upvote2Downvote
Robert Gallo™June 8, 2012The service wasn't very good and limited sitting space to eat; however, the salad bar is amazing! There's also huge variety for all types of food, including salads, soups, sandwiches, sushi, etc.UpvoteDownvote
ᴡᴡᴡ.Bob.pwho.ru EricksonJanuary 4, 2016It's in need of renovation, very cramped, and the priciest grocery store in Manhattan (e.g., $3.19 for a 12 oz. Red Bull and $3.59 for a 4.75 oz. French Vanilla Organic Yogurt). Not much else nearby.Upvote1Downvote
Cassius PJune 16, 2019Surprisingly good and moderately priced cappuccino! I’ve had it 5 times from different people and it’s consistently good. However the service is awful! All employees seem upset.UpvoteDownvote- EmmaOctober 9, 2016Great deals on pizza- 2 slices for $3! Also, they have a wide variety of juices and sandwiches.UpvoteDownvote
🌺JenNeiM🌺June 23, 2012Great selection with bottled drinks & greek yogurt! The selection at the self-serve salad bar was ok. Don't get the fried plantains. Didn't taste that great.

Old AmsterdamDecember 27, 2012Old Amsterdam's aged Gouda is a must try, It is available here at Food Emporium. http://oldamsterdam.com/UpvoteDownvote
Monica LinkApril 14, 2011The baked food is great and the store is right around the corner from the subway. The store is a little pricey, but it the location is goodUpvoteDownvote
Arun NandiMay 30, 2013Tropicana is very decently priced. Better than Walmart during their 2 for $7 promoUpvoteDownvote
Ignacio TorresJanuary 1, 2012I was looking for a supermarket and somebody told me that "The Food Emporium" was a good one. Well, I found every single thing that I needed but I agree with others, so overpriced. Good option anywaysUpvote1Downvote
This place is deceiving. The upstairs gives the impression of an upscale food hall and the main lower level is run down and home to a number of questionable odors.UpvoteDownvote
Markus SchwindJune 6, 2019ok, but not a lot of variety...which is anyhow hard to find in the heart of NYUpvoteDownvote

50% off one of the Orange Juices most of the time. Wait for it and pack some!UpvoteDownvote
Bruce C.February 16, 2012Crazily overpriced. Tourists don't know better. Good for those "honey, can you bring home some..." on the way from work moments...Upvote2Downvote
The Bakery is worth checking out. Great service and good treats *_*Upvote1Downvote- Excellent selection of fresh sushi hereUpvote4Downvote
Try the chicken salad from the deli. A must! It's off the hook!UpvoteDownvote
Confusing layout but staff is helpful to help u find what u need!UpvoteDownvote
Real locals avoid the revolving door.UpvoteDownvote
Kind of overpriced, but decent selection and only large-ish supermarket in the area.Upvote1Downvote
Don't buy from the downstairs deli. It will ruin your life.UpvoteDownvote
Chris HFebruary 23, 2013The produce here is abysmal and the prices are outrageous. Only shop here if you have no alternativeUpvoteDownvote
Careful of the deli they charge the incorrect price which is higher and blame it on the machinesUpvoteDownvote
Justen Bennett-MaccubbinMarch 17, 2013This store is not only over priced it's very poorly managed. They are frequently out of basic things and the service is awful.UpvoteDownvote
Horrible horrible excuse for a grocery store. Always manage to be out of the most basic items and their produce looks miserable. Head to stiles farmers market around the corner instead.UpvoteDownvote
Very expensive. Only reasonable if you have their 'card' to get discounts on items.UpvoteDownvote
