About Wegmans - NY

Wegmans made its long-awaited Manhattan debut in October 2023, opening a sprawling two-level, 87,500-square-foot store at Astor Place in the East Village, following its first New York City location which opened at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in 2019 . The Manhattan store, located in the historic Wanamaker building at 770 Broadway, is designed like a European open-air market with warm lighting and distinct "village" sections that make grocery shopping feel like a culinary tour . True to its cult-favorite reputation among self-described "Wegmaniacs," the store dedicates nearly its entire ground floor to an overwhelming array of prepared foods—sushi and poke bowls made with fish flown in from Tokyo's Toyosu Market, authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas, an Asian hot food bar, Mediterranean mezze, made-to-order sandwiches, and a massive bakery turning out artisan breads and fresh cookies sold by the pound . Downstairs, shoppers find a vast produce section (30% organic), a specialty cheese and charcuterie counter, an extensive plant-based section, and a full-service meat and seafood market where fishmongers will cut whole fish to order . The store employs over 600 people, features three dozen self-checkout kiosks, and offers Meals 2Go delivery and pickup for busy New Yorkers, with a forthcoming sit-down restaurant called Next Door planned for 2025 .
