5 Grocery Stores Within A Mile Of The 325 Lafayette Avenue Key Food

Heather Chin -

It will be a while until we find out whether the ground floor of 325 Lafayette Avenue will contain a supermarket or not, but we do know that it will be demolished in a few months to make way for construction on an eight-story primarily residential building. So once construction starts, where can we go for fresh produce, frozen foods and other basic necessities of life? And where delivers to your door?

Here are the next closest supermarkets in the area:

  • The next closest supermarket is C-Town at 241 Taaffe Place (0.3 miles away; DeKalb Avenue and Taaffe Place; 718-230-7668) .
  • Key Food (fka Associated Supermarket) at 490 Myrtle Avenue (0.5 miles away, between Hall and Ryerson Streets in Clinton Hill, up Washington Avenue on the other side of Pratt Institute)
  • Key Food at 991 Fulton Street (0.5 miles away, at St. James Place in Clinton Hill) — Store manager Rocky Widdi told us that they will deliver groceries to seniors who need it; just call 718-636-1620.
  • Metropolitan Citymarket at 1142 Bedford Avenue (0.7 miles away) In Bed-Stuy is at the corner of Monroe Street and Bedford.
  • Pathmark at Atlantic Terminal at 625 Atlantic Avenue (one mile away; 718-399-6161) has been mentioned by some residents as another, farther, alternative that requires a considerable trek and wouldn’t be feasible for seniors or anyone with limited mobility.
