You can find good food here. Unfortunately, a lot of bad food has been pushed by the food Nazis. I was watching an old episode of Naked City with Mickey Rooney that was filmed in NYC about 1960, I’d say. He played a worker in a small supermarket and it was obviously filmed in a real supermarket. At one point, pertinent to the plot, there was a closeup of a steak - it had such marbling that I was drooling with not only gluttony but envy as well - where did all our thickly marbeled steaks go?! Where’s the cream on top of the bottle that we skimmed off circa 1960? Where’s did all the ingredients that Julia Child so happily displayed on her show go?
The post-bankruptcy Hostess Twinkies are still as good as 1960.
