cheaper produce in NYC (1/24/10)

...is in NYC: California red peppers 99¢ lb., California broccoli 99¢ bunch 



Photos are two years later... "Food paradox at Gourmet Boutique: "buying local" and "carbon footprint" had nothing to do with why these ripe cherries were selling for $1.59 lb. midwinter on Feb. 1 in Brooklyn. 

"Garlic 69¢ each" was a sock of five heads of garlic.









Winter prices at 'Gourmet Boutique'. 
Produce can be much cheaper in Brooklyn than in California, even in winter. But most Californians assume the opposite.
