For fic purposes, I need the nearest large supermarket to Avengers Tower. Are there any NYCistas on my flist who have suggestions?

If it's at 58th and Broadway (like they say here, there's a Whole Foods in the basement of the Time Warner mall right there. Although I think the tower and the mall are basically in the same location, so not sure if they could co-exist.

I think I'm going with movieverse, where it takes the place of the MetLife building. On the other hand, sending Steve to Whole Foods would be funny.

Oh huh, I have no idea where one grocery shops near Grand Central. I mean, there's the fancy Grand Central Market, but that would be even more ridiculous.

[jesseh]

Oh, and der, of course I know where the tower is in the movie. I forgot!

In the movieverse, Stark Tower is the Met Life building in reality; it's above Grand Central Station, so I would go with the Food Emporium on 51st and 2nd.

That works! Google Maps was sending me to a Whole Foods a mile uptown, but if Food Emprorium is also bewilderingly large it'll do fine.

[musesfool]

I wouldn't call it bewilderingly large? You really would need Whole Foods or Trader Joe's or Fairway for that. Most supermarkets in Manhattan are not very big compared with their suburban counterparts.

Hm okay, I might send him to Whole Foods after all.

Perhaps after some ingredient everyone swears can only be found there? That's why I usually end up there. That and I really like their store brand peanut butter. :D

Whole Foods also has the advantage of having particularly unusual foods and high prices! (Not to mention little tags saying how your meat grew up.)
