Funny earlier today someone said that the Sports Plus is becoming BJs.
 OMG! 347 is already such a traffic nightmare 
You can get there without taking 347. Take the LIE to Old Nichols Rd head North all the way to the end. Make a left. The mall will be straight ahead on the food court side.
that's how we usually go to the mall. I HATE 347!

that doesn't work if you live North - in Seatuket, Port Jeff or Stony Brook

there is one in Plainview
I could NOT believe the produce and florist sections. those 2 impressed me the most. they even sell mini calla's in every color of the rainbow 
we bought some mangoes and papaya’s there that were as good if not better than anything I have had in the Caribbean.
very impressed!

It is similar in that they both have huge produce, meat, deli and bakery sections, and lots of organic products. But I agree, Fairway is cheaper. And you can get organic as well as nationally recognized brand names at Fairway - not so much ar Whole Foods since it is mostly if not all organic.
I shop all 3 places - Fairway, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, depending on what I am looking for. I make kind of a loop -- Woodbury, Plainview, Jericho...home! Or vice/versa.

Someone posted on the Home board that Fortunoffs is going in there
I'll never forget a Friday night I decided to take Northern State to 347 to get to my parents in S. Setauket Never made that mistake again. Now I totally avoid 347. I take the LIE out to Nichols. It is great they have so much on 347 but it really is a nightmare.

Re: Whole Foods Vs. Trader Joe's
I have been DYING to go to Whole Foods....I love Trader Joes and cannot beat their prices at all. They are cheaper by a lot for anything they have that the normal supermarkets have.
Wish there was a whole foods closer to me

Re: Whole Foods Vs. Trader Joe's
I used to go to Whole Foods in Manhasset on occasion and it is nice, but expensive....Now I moved and just discovered Trader Joe's in E. Northport- it is way smaller, but much more reasonably priced...I especially loved it because it has a hawaiian theme!
