Food Cellar Trendy Grocer in LIC
The Food Cellar (47 Rd btwn 5th Street and Center Blvd) is a subsidiary of the Amish Market-which is similar to Whole Foods. This semi-upscale food seller is a much demanded product of LIC’s luxury condo dwellers who are too unaware or too unadventurous to travel to the nearby C-Town. Well, can you blame them? Food Cellar offers gourmet coffees, fresh produce, meats, specialty groceries and baked goods. The products are mostly organic from their juices to their cereals. Unfortunately convenience from this local market comes at a high price, but it will be a nice addition to the Queens community and an alternative to traveling into the city for more obscure and/or fresh food items.
One Day in Queens 
Food Cellar is in my building. It is extremely expensive. I enjoy having a wide variety of organic goods. However, no one enjoys paying more than Whole Foods. The prices are more like “Wine Cellar” without the wine.
