Not to be outdone by Morton Williams’ preemptive homage to Halloween, local pharmacy Duane Reade is pioneering the Christmas bandwagon.
Morton Williams has the opportunity to counter-strike and capitalize on Reade’s Thanksgiving omission.
West Side Market, presumably, is too busy providing the community with fresh food at affordable prices to deign to participate.

@MoWi are you fucking kidding me? what the fuck is “MoWi”? oh oh, let me guess…
Be part of something big! We invite you to come experience the Villas at MoWi, bringing together a fusion of the very best of cutting edge New York City style and old New York bodega chic to bring you a mixed use living opportunity like you’ve never seen before. Studios and 2 Bedrooms on Aisle III available this Summer, starting only in the 890s.
@Anonymous I gotta say, while I think Morton Williams sucks overall (high prices, shitty selection, etc.), I think that Westside and D’Ag’s might be a close call. Westside has better selection and produce, yes, but Dags has a club card that consistently saves you money if you use it. Plus Dags has bacon-lover’s turkey at their deli, something that Westside lacks.
@fgjkhhl the difference is, if a few people ask west side to carry a requested product, theres a good chance it’ll happen. they’ll at least give it real thought. d’ag will just charge you extra for having to listen to your request and then go about business as usual anyway
@sugar 80 degrees and christmas trees? it’s california!
@WSM West Side has affordable produce, for those of us that cook, it is heaven. All you lazy kids who don’t want to walk down there, it’s your loss.
@well I don’t necessarily think it’s more affordable produce. Pricing is in the air. The thing is, they have more of everything so you can actually pick out decent produce. Morton stocks like 20 bell peppers and they’re all mushy, crushed, moldy, etc. WSM gives you a good bit more to choose from which lets you pick out the best produce. I haven’t really noticed a decisive winner as far as prices go though. WSM does have cheaper milk I think and the prepared foods are pretty fairly priced and generally they are very good.
@pricey West Side has never been affordable. I swear the last time I was there a big box of Honey Nut Cheerios was over 7 dollars.
@wow talk about tacky! . . . its not even halloween yet.
@ugh I love West Side, but they’ve pulled a fast one. They sell Newman’s Own sodas for 2.50. Morton charges less than 2 dollars. How could this happen?!?
@Excuse you? In response to the misogynistic jerk who just wrote that:
I’m glad they reported on this. It was amusing and relevant in that stores are always pulling the holiday decorations crap on us months too early.
The mark of a good writer is not always have something interesting to write about readily at hand, but instead taking the mundane and the seemingly-uninteresting and making it interesting.
Good work Bwog.
@Seriously Bwog (and other Columbia-related groups) should issue a call to boycott Morton Williams and D’Ag’s. Let’s get them closed by the end of the year; there are so many better things that could be going in those spaces!
@brilliant close the other markets…because that will provide westside with an incentive to not raise its prices and monopolize the neighborhood?
not to mention, if i just want a gallon of milk at night, i dont walk to westside, i walk around the corner to morton. they do have their benefits
@Alum There was a call to boycott them 5 or 6 years ago when the new owner took over and got accused of all sorts of labor violations. They seem to have weathered that one alright…
@Westside Market makes me wet
@Burn, MW, burn. Nothing justifies that kind of cleanliness and service for those prices.
@yes, but why is duane reade’s christmas tree decorated with cotton balls? isn’t that the real story? Does Santa have some nail polish he needs to remove?
@you know what’s not convenient? mortons weak selection and bad prices.
@also morton’s disgusting sushi and cramped aisles.
@Yay! We love you West Side Market! We’re glad you’re back! (Even if you no longer have endlessly confusing aisle-organization and what appeared to be sawdust on your floors!)
@random Morton is soooooo convenient though.
@The Dink oh snap! West Side wins again!
@hahaha West Side Market, presumably, is too busy providing the community with fresh food at affordable prices to deign to participate.
@CHRISTMAS???? But…. it….is…. OCTOBER.
