Brunch News From the Bowery

The Whole Foods on Bowery opened big a month ago. A big party, tasting events and the like. But from an insider, things haven't been going so great. The place is apparently empty during the weekdays, generating a little more traffic at night and then filling up with weekend shoppers. How do you change that? Well, WF Bowery has an idea. A little birdy writes, "I walked by Whole Foods LES tonight and saw that they will be serving brunch starting June 10. You have to talk to a custie service person to get details, but I was late for dinner." That's ok birdy. We still love you. Now, we know retail is not our specialty, but brunch definitely is. We can picture it now. A big Saturday night on the town. You wake up, feeling like $5 bucks. All you are thinking about is brunch. Solution? The City's biggest supermarket, full of bright lights, loud shoppers, and piped in market music. That's where we want to get our rancheros. And scene.

  1. Whole Foods empty on weekdays and still quiet at night? I fail to see the problem. Birdies at USquare or Col.Circle that wait at the end of a check-out line where a disgruntled employee holds a sign wrapped around the salad bar saying "Line Ends Here" will agree: quiet aisles is a good thing (especially when you aren't the one paying rent in those high-price locales)
