fter years of staring at that massive empty storefront wondering what would ever replace it, the wait is officially over.

According toCouncil Member Kayla Santosuosso, Trader Joe’s has just been confirmed as the grocery anchor for the new Century Marketplace development at the former Century 21 site on 86th Street.

It feels like we've been hearing rumors about a grocery store moving in here forever, so it's wild to actually see it official. No opening date has been dropped yet, but between this and bringing some life back to the 86th Street corridor, this is a massive win for the neighborhood.

Disclosure first: I built the free site linked at the end, no signup and no ads, and this post is mostly data.

Park Slope is the one neighborhood where a lot of people do their real shopping at the Food Coop, so a circular roundup feels a little beside the point. But if you are not doing a Coop shift this week, or you just want to know where the regular supermarkets are cheap right now, I read every Park Slope store's weekly ad each morning and this is what they are leading with.

A timing note: the C-Town, Foodtown, and Stop & Shop ads below run through tonight (Thursday 7/16) and flip to a new week tomorrow, while the Lidl and Whole Foods ads are the current 7/15 to 7/21 week.

Lidl (120 5th Ave), week of 7/15 to 7/21:

• Tomatoes on the vine, $1.49
• Bellarom ground coffee, $4.79

Whole Foods (214 3rd St), week of 7/15 to 7/21 (Prime price in parentheses):

• Strawberries, 16 oz, 2 for $7.78 ($7 for 2 with Prime)
• Yellow peaches, $2.77/lb ($2.49/lb with Prime)
• Large Hass avocados, 2 for $5.56 ($5 for 2 with Prime)

C-Town (329 9th St), through tonight 7/16:

• Seedless watermelon, quarter cuts, 79 cents
• Slicing tomatoes, $1.49
• Yellow nectarines and southern peaches, $1.49

• Red seedless grapes, $2.69

A couple of head to head notes: on tomatoes on the vine, Lidl ($1.49, and good through next Monday) beats Stop & Shop ($1.88). On red seedless grapes, Stop & Shop ($2.69) beats C-Town ($3.99), but both of those ads end tonight.

Hit and Run on the night of September 24 2026. Bay Ridge Parkway(75th Street) and 4th avenue. Around 8 or 9 PM.

Victim was hit and left with several broken bones, requiring surgery and a titanium rod. I'm looking for any advice or help on the matter. If anyone saw anything, or knows how to go about getting the video footage from the Camera between 75 & 76 Street on 4th avenue(as seen in picture # ).

My neighbor lost a dog last night (10/2). Sharing here in case some has seen her wandering around. Please help bring her home.
