Re: Wegman's shoppers!!!???
Wegman's is like a combination of a regular grocery store and a high-end grocery store.
They have all the regular stuff (at regular prices) but then they have things like Le Creuset cookware, a pricey wine section (with a sommelier to help you pick a wine), gourmet foods, etc.
They have a HUGE seafood section that stays open until like 9pm (unlike our other crappy supermarkets where the seafood section closes at like 6  ).
They have a huge wine and cheese section, a Mediterranean bar that has all kinds of olives, hummus, and other tapas-type stuff, they have a great international food section and an organic section, a big candy aisle with candy in bulk, an awesome section that sells dinnerware, glasses, etc (they have gorgeous place settings!), a huge bakery, sushi chefs that make fresh sushi........I could go on and on!
I LOVE shopping there!
But the best part is that the people that work there actually know what they're talking about (and they're friendly). So if you're looking for a specific kind of cheese, they can give you all kinds of suggestions.

Re: Wegman's shoppers!!!???
OMG I had one in college in Ithaca AND in NJ when I lived in Princeton!
It is amazing! The one in Ithaca had a huge seating area on the second floor for if you bought prepared food from the chinese place, pizza place, sub bar, salad bar, pasta bar....SOOO good! A huge candy section with a train going around the ceiling...And good prices on all the regular stuff too! And their bakery stuff is amazing! Best cookies around!

They opened a Wegman's wine shop in Farmingdale, and I heard they were trying to open one there, but faced problems with the building.

Re: Wegman's shoppers!!!???
God, I miss Wegman's. I can't believe that it hasn't made its way down here. When I moved to Brewster I thought I'd find one, but no such luck. I can dream, though...
