Price Check On Aisle Nine: Red Apple Put To the Test

Now it's time to look that gift-horse in the mouth.

A day after at The Andrea on Myrtle Avenue across the street from Fort Greene Houses, Patch made its first visit to the grocer to answer one question:

What was immediately noticeable was the Red Apple's escalator being out-of-service on the second day of shopping at the below-grade market ()—though the elevator did seem to be operational.

Here's our price comparison:
