Pathmark

This location is closed down, 03÷18÷13. It was not good when it was opened anyway. It had the slowest checkout lanes.

This location is CLOSED.
Such a bummer. It was nice having this option within walking distance from work… saved me a trip once I got home.
Would have been nice if Pathmark’s website listed it as so… according to their ‘store location” section the store still exists.
Next time I’ll just check Unilocal first…

OMG. Pathmark is gone. WHY!!! Where else am I going to get American groceries for cheap? OMG. This is terrible.
It had a parking lot. It was the best American supermarket in Chinatown.
The sale items featured every week on their circulars were really good deals.
I hope they are reopening it or something because this area really needs a good inexpensive American supermarket, with parking!
I used to work here in my teens. I hope it is not gone forever.

Goodbye Chinatown Pathmark, I heard this store is closing.
Without this Pathmark there are no non-​Asian supermarket within 1 mile.
I hope a new supermarket comes to this location.

This store will be closing at the end of December, due to the (supposed) construction of high-​rise apartment buildings on that parcel of land. Although I realize the store’s closing will create a problem for the people living in that immediate neighborhood, I won’t be crying crocodile tears about the «loss».

Big grocery store. Chinatown grocers have slightly better prices. Parking though.

This location is closing in December 2012 and in my opinion it’s not a big loss. The only reason they have been in business this long is because they’re the only big market in that area. It’s certainly not because of quality and outstanding customer service.
This market is probably the most poorly managed market I’ve been in. The produce is anything but fresh and on top of that it’s over priced. Forget about purchasing anything that is on sale in the meat department since they only bring out limited quantities of the items whenever they feel like it or never at all. Shelves are never restocked when they first open in the morning but done throughout the day. I’ve seen it done at 11AM and 2PM with boxes blocking half the aisles. If you do buy something be prepared to wait a long time as each line can curve and extend towards the end of the store leaving no room for anyone to move. They’ll never open up more registers to help get customers in and out quicker. Nobody working here seems to have any sense of urgency to get things done quickly. There is no good time to go to this store, not even past midnight or close to closing time. The long lines can also be attributed to a communication barrier between some customers and cashiers as well as customers not knowing how to use the CC machine or self checkout machines.

One of the very few large super markets in the city. If you’re from the west coast and you’re use to just driving to a Vons or Albertson’s, then you’ll soon learn that those things are rare luxuries living in New York. Sure, there’s whole foods and other local groceries, but its nice to just go to a place that doesn’t charge an arm and leg for cereal cuz its organic and where you can just pick up some milk and eggs.
Pathmark is your full size supermarket from produce to a deli and meat section. They even have a rewards card for weekly discounts. Definitely a great place for ppl who miss having a large supermarket.

The staffs are very rude. Especially T******* at the express check out register. Giving all these dull responses and pissed off attitudes for customers with problems at the check outs. Also. She was eating and drinking which made it worse cause she was working slowly on purpose.

Great selection, fantastic prices, amazing sales. Just avoid the crazy lines filled with near-​poverty families (I can say it because I’m from one) and you’ll be on your way out with a week’s worth of food for $ 20.
Nik C. — They are not open 24 hours… they are NOT open at 4am… so whatever bullsh*t you want to make up doesn’t belong here. I wish people were more informed.

Ironically I’m writing this review as I’m simultaneously waiting on the phone for a «customer service» person to pick up, it is ringing, 54^th ring, 55^th ring (I kid you not), just trying to see if they actually do still rent rug doctor shampooing machines as the rug doc website says they do, but given the disorganization of this particular store? I’m double checking before trudging over there! screw it I just hung up. Ive written to the manager in the comment cards which I have a strong feeling are being used to line bird cages somewhere after they have been submitted, that the place is always, ALWAYS at best chaos. A store this big, that is open ²⁴⁄₇ is bound not to run like a Swiss watch but to have to wait in long checkout lines no matter what time of day or night is insane. I mean whether it be Sunday afternoon at 2pm OR TUESDAY MORNING AT 4Am (Ive gone there then hoping to avoid said lines) it matters not, they just don’t care. Ive actually sought out a manager on a few occasions when the two registers open were a good ten people deep and have said «hey look at this how about more registers»? and was met with either rolled eyes and teeth sucking and a begrudging PA call for one more person to the checkout stands, OR a simple «Oh, OK I didn’t realize» and then minutes later the PA call to reinforcements in the checkout line. So you’d stand in line for a minimum of ten minutes and then have to bag our own groceries? i think they finally got the hint there and began to bag for you, that is only recently though and Ive lived in the area for six years and for most of it have had to bag my own and I’m not talking about the «Express self checkout»
Service aside if you want something in a box or a can you’re fine. If you’re looking for produce? meat? deli goods? you’re better off just sucking it up and paying whole foods or trader Joe’s prices because the produce here is just not top quality. Oranges and tuna salad seem pretty simple, but they’re just not the pick of the litter here. the place is such a hole even if you didn’t know that many of the kids working there probably are not making much of a wage you can tell in the attitude, so many of them clearly just do not even care lol.

It’s nice to have a big grocery store nearby that has the wide range of products and a variety that is rare in the city. They have good sales that are well marked, and their vegetables are usually above average (not Whole Foods quality, but better than most markets in the city).
The trouble is, it’s almost always slammed. I don’t bother even trying to go on weekends anymore… they never have more than 3 cashiers open, and no one controls the «express self check out» line, so people go there with carts full of 100 items. It’s great for locals during the week, but I don’t want to spend an hour of my weekend waiting in line!

Most dismal fresh produce experience in New York to date.
And it wasn’t even cheap!
I thought that was the whole point — if they curb a little on the quality, isn’t it supposed to be super affordable?! Well I found no deals or anything of any commendable quality, I am certainly sticking to all the miniature-​fresh produce markets in Chinatown which I had to wade through on my way to Pathmark anyway.
Even a lot of the no-​frills «America’s Choice» brand items were really overpriced. Am I too heavily comparing this the TJs? I thought at least I was spending good money on pricer things there, whereas I’m sure it seemed more expensive here.
The fruit and vegetables were either all mottled and wilting, or questionably chatoyant with chemicals… The meat looked bruised and if even the best pieces resembled a butcher’s cheap cuts.
I’ve shopped in the Harlem branch of Pathmark before and really don’t think I was so heavily under in the influence at the time that I might have overlooked this previously…
I was genuinely shocked at how little there was I could bring myself to purchase.

I never knew there was a Path Mark… I always heard the name being tossed around here and there.
But my friend recently told me about it and also advised it 24 — hours!
WHAAAAAAAAAT?
Gees, I felt like I was back in Texas — when you have nothing else to do, but go to Super Target or Wal-​Mart at 3 o’clock in the morning.
My friend and I ended up going there late at night.
This place should work on their merchandising — it’s crazy disorganized.
They don’t put things all together… I found Fage at another aisle AND not with the other yogurts.
But this place has won me over with their NECTARINES! It reminds me of the ones that I get at WHOLE FOODS!
Crunchy, Crispy and DELISH!
Me loves me Nectarines!

I like the super cheap, though sometimes shoddy produce, and Asian groceries available in Chinatown. I didn’t want to keep going to the shit show that is Trader Joe’s when I needed other groceries, so when I discovered the Pathmark on Cherry Street I was ecstatic.
The aisles are huge, the prices are low, and when you get the club card savings discounts they can be lower than low (97 cents for 2 liters of Coke products!)
When I don’t feel like dealing with Trader Joe’s, Pathmark is there. I like that it’s out of the way for a lot of people so it doesn’t get too crowded. And you never have to deal with annoying NYU or pushy, yuppy post-​gym girls on their cell phones, or aging hippy women that shove to get the free samples!

Hard to believe that they have a parking lot! A real parking lot that is free in Manhattan. This is HUGE. They used to be open 24 hours a day… which was nice. Now they close at 1 and the pharmacy closes at 9 I think.
This Pathmark is good for some things and horrible for other things. Fish… forget about it. Chicken… maybe, but probably not. Steak… no. Eggs, milk, vegetables and everything else… sure. They have good sales.
The bad… the lines are crazy. The staff is interesting. The behavior of the employees here would not be tolerated if the supermarket was located in a different area. That said, there are a few really good people who work there… who are very helpful. The truth is, even though the prices might be better here and I can park my car in the lot… it is probably faster to go to another supermarket where the lines are not so long.

One of my favorate places to shop for groceries in Lower East Side, Manhattan!
This Pathmark used to open like 24 – 7 but sadly, they close at 1am now.
This Pathmark brings back many good memories. I remember always coming here with my Grandma, who lived nearby, before she passed away. I cannot shop with her anymore but I will never forget the happy times when we did.
Some of you may think that this Pathmark has become a bit ghetto but the items and prices here versus places like Duane Reade are hard to beat !

My favorite mainstream supermarket on the East Side.
They have the best pricing of any supermarket in the area, hands down. The only downside is that getting here is a bit of a pain unless you have a car. Since most Manhattan residents don’t have one, you either have to take the bus (which is inconvenient with shopping bags) or a taxi (which defeats the purpose of savings some cash by going here).
My best advice is to join ZipCar and then you can rent a car for 2 hours and come down here at your convenience. In the course of a year you will save a ton of money.

There is a parking lot for easy access and the place is open 24 hours…
This place gets packed some days and with certain items, they don’t restock as quick as I would like but having a 24 hour option is great when you work a lot.
People say don’t come without a car but my mom for like 15 years has walked like a mile to this place with a push cart and she doesn’t mind or need help. maybe you need a cart. I think they sell them too…

WELCOME TO HELL LADIES AND GENTS (during day time hours, this one is open 24 hours)
THERE SHALL BE BUMPING AND SHOVING
TRUST ME — GO THERE AT 12PM IN THE AFTERNOON ON SATURDAY
