Foodtown of Hewlett

Roger Grimsby

Googlemaps has a chart that shows when Foodtown is busiest, and when it is emptiest. I recommend going when it is emptiest -- within an hour or two of closing. Closes 10 PM on Sunday, 11 PM the other days. Update: A sunny, cool October Saturday afternoon. For the present 3 PM to 4 PM slot, Googlemaps said FoodTown is "Not Too Busy," and less-busy than average. So I went there, and it really was "not too busy." It was very pleasant. I don't know how Googlemaps keeps up to date on instantaneous conditions inside the store, but the system has been accurate for me. A year ago, "E" wrote: "Staff friendly, very over priced, aisles very tight." I disagree. "Overpriced" is the KeyFood at Ocean Ave and Sunrise Hwy, but their aisles are super-wide if you're claustraphobic. "Tight aisles" is the King Kullen at Peninsula Blvd and Rockaway Ave, too uncomfortable for me to go there a second time, so I can't say if they're beneficial in some way.

Coldest beer in Five Towns/Valley Stream. Not what you expect in a grocery store. FT keeps their beer super cold. They also have great intl/west indian food options. If produce was cheaper this would be my go to.
